hi im having a dilemma in iptables im forwarding one ip address from
firewall to an internal server(with internal ip).  The scripts worked
fine you can access the server from outside of the network but when i
try to access the server from inside i can't connect to the server.

here's a diagram:
________               ________                ______________
| internet | ------------- | firewall | ---------------| web/mail server |
--------------               --------------               
-------------------------
                                   |
                          ___________
                          | workstation |
                          -------------------


here's the syntax i add for forwading the public ip to an internal
ip(192.168.0.253):
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -p tcp -j DNAT --to
192.168.0.253



when i try to browse my server from the internal workstation i always
get timeout and even if i tried to telnet port 25 same thing happened.
