I should have said

1. add virtual ip (am I supposed to beable to select the cidr? it greys out
and is set to /32)
2. add NAT: Port Forwarding entry using WAN, the virtual ip in step 1, tcp,
from 80, my servers private ip, local port 80, checked auto add firewall
rule.
3. reverified that virtual ip, nat and rule entries are all present.

ok it works this time.. the difference?  bug :)

if you click proxy arp and then click CARP it gives you a ungreyed CIDR drop
down. I set it to /27 which is what my firewalls WAN interface is set to
(and it must have accepted it).  If you DON'T set the CIDR it works fine.
atleast thats what I think happened.

another possible bug. when adding new interfaces with by clicking the + on
the assign screen the firewall webgui times if you don't wait several
seconds before attempting to click another + to add another interface.

Yup, that's what it's for.

So far, this sounds right.

Port forwarding?

Shouldn't matter.

Should have worked.  It does take a second or two for rule changes to
apply, but this should have worked like a charm.

Nope, what you did sounds right.
