Older Alcatel modem-routers (I'm certain of SpeedTouch Pro, SpeedTouch
with Firewall and the 510v3 models) have this problem (impossible to
access XXXX.myserver.org from the LAN side).
As there are an awful lot of these Alcatel modem-routers out there (much
of Europe - France, Belgium, UK etc etc -, the US, Israel, New Zealand
etc) I think this potential *problem* should be in the FAQ-O-Matic.
As I use firmware debugged and improved by a bunch of French hackers, I
do not have this problem with my Alcatel modem-router :)

Wez:
I'm sorry to disagree, but my experience has been that most
commercial NAT'ing routers (eg, LinkSys, Netgear) are unable
to route traffic in a "loop" manner as described. Perhaps the very
latest products allow this, or perhaps I could simply be wrong:
if other users on this list have routers which allow this, please
feel free to let me know and I'll update the FAQ-O-Matic entries
about this topic accordingly.
I also agree that the configuration interface should only
appear on the internal interface, but most of the commercial routers
I've worked with have a radio-button option to enable the external
side as well.
cheers,
Scott
