You don't mention what your operating system is, so I'll assume Unix.
I'll leave it to the others to fill in the gaps for any other OS.

The problem is routing. You can't access your own website by the
public IP address. You have to use the private IP address. Let's
assumed your webserver is at 192.168.1.1.

Add the following to /etc/hosts

192.168.1.1 example.org
192.168.1.1 support.example.org

Now your box should be able to access itself. What the above does is
give it an IP address to associate with a name. See man hosts for
more info.

Let us know if that works.
