The way I have dealt w/ this is to use an internal DNS server to redirect my requests so they are not going out to come back in. If your Endian box is your DNS server, it is quite easy to do. Just go to the Network tab and add a hosts entry for your machine. This way, when you try to get to whatever the domain is, you will be given the private IP when on your LAN. I realize that this is not an answer to your question... It's just how I've solved this problem in the past. Michael J. Knisely

I'm not sure how to describe this but here we go. I run a web server that sits behind my Endian firewall. The web server is on a private IP so all port 80 traffic is forwarded from the WAN into it's private IP on the LAN. I am able to access this server using it's private IP and from anywhere outside my network using the public URL/IP of the Endian box. I am not, however, able to get to it from withing the network when I use the public URL/IP. The request simply times out. Is there a rule that I need to add/change to be able to allow this? I have a rule currently that allows the GREEN interface access to everything on the RED but this doesn't seem to get it. I apologize if this has already been asked....but I was unable to find anything relating to this. I should probably note that I am running 2.2RC3.
