My CS:1.6 public clan server is sitting 3ft away from me right now. I can connect to it through the LAN, which is what I do most of the time. But I can also connect to it through the internet. It's a matter of the router. I even have people over here now and then and they connect in through the LAN while it's still having people come in from the internet with no problems at all which is what I believe this person is trying to do. Granted it's only a 17 slot server (one reserve slot) but it works quite well. If you would like to check it out, 24.60.247.97:27015
Now if he's trying to do this on the commercial side, IE: cybercafé, then yes he would have to go through the legal licensing mumbo jumbo so that he would be legal IF he is supplying the computers and Steam accounts for people to use. If people are bringing their own rigs to hook up to the LAN then there should be no problem since they themselves have already purchased the game.

I don't think you can connect to a server via both LAN and internet.
