It worked!!!!!
I switched my ext_addr to my 192.168.60.129, manually ran
/usr/sbin/httpd rather than "rcctl" or "/etc/rc.d/httpd start", did a
ps -ax and saw httpd server running. Rebooted the machine, the httpd
daemon came back up automatically. Switched the ext_addr to "*"
rebooted, the httpd server still came up as running.
Very strange.
