I was told that that command fowarded the internal server's Port 80 to the firewall's Port 8000.

Does the following command look right to you all?
We are trying to forward (open up) a port on our firewall so that an outsider can test web pages on our internal test server:
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 216.*.*.* 80 -R 192.*.*.*:8000
(where the 216 number is the firewall and the 192 number is the internal test server)
I thought we were simply forwarding Port 80 of the firewall to Port 8000 on the internal server so that the user from outside would simply type: http://192.*.*.*:8000 and get the test server. Someone else says that the outsider types http://216.*.*.*:8000 and gets the test data. Neither one of them work now anyway so something is wrong even if I am unclear on the concept.
Thanks for your patience with me.
