Hello Everyone.

I have a problem that I just can't seem to figure out.

I have a FreeBSD server connected to the internet via xl1 which is
connected to
a cable modem. This interface gets it's ip dynamicly via dhcp.

Interface xl0 has an assigned ip address of 10.1.1.1 and is connected to
an
internal network. Clients on the internal network are given ip addresses
in the
 10.1.1.0/24 class C via dhcp.

I use the homedns.org service to map the ip address that xl1 receives to
eagle.homedns.org.

I have configured natd to run on the server. rc.conf and ipfw output to
follow

I have an apache server running on this server and it is configured to
respond
to eagle.homedns.org.

If I connect to the web server from the outside world it works correctly.
However, if I attempt to connect to the web server from one of the
internal
clients the connection is VERY slow. Accessing outside web servers from
the same
client works without a problem speed is wuite acceptable. This client has
the
same problem (very slow) whne attempting to retreive it's mail from the
pop
server running on the freebsd box.

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction to get this
corrected.
Please excuse im if I am doing anything obviously wrong here. I'm not very
familar with freebsd I mainly have experiance with Linux and Solaris.

Thanks in advance.
Kenny
