just FYI you have to add the server to /etc/hosts to get it to work right.

ok. this has been driving me nuts. i got smoothwall 2.0 voyager all up and happy, in fact, i'm posting from behind it right now. it's a GREEN + RED setup.
anyways, i've got a webserver behind it and i have the firewall port forwarding to the server. i know all the risks of having a server open to the world without a DMZ and blah blah, but hopefully this setup won't be around for long. i've been trying to test port fwd'ing from inside the GREEN, and I can't hit the server. I've been ripping my hair out trying to figure it out, because my friends can hit it, it's just me that can't. then i found this:
http://community.smoothwall.org/forum/ viewtopic.php?t=1168&highlight=port+forward+green+access+inside
and it says "You can not test any portforwarding from within your GREEN network."
and I ask "why?"
My users need to have access to that webserver, and it would kind of be a PITA to try and get them to use the internal IP instead of the qualified domain name. i guess i could go throw an entry in their hosts file, but i'd rather it just work the way i want it to and route the traffic.
anyone know of a way to do this?
