So youre on the inside of a NAT interface, trying to talk directly to the
outside of your NAT interface?

It doesn't work.

Its also well documented...

Simply put...

www.mydomain.com resolves to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx in the DNS.

Because you're NAT'd, internally you hold ip yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy and your
connections to the internet are translated so that you appear to be on ip
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to the rest of the world.

When you do a DNS lookup on www.mydomain.com you're getting the answer
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. When you try to talk to that IP, your router realises
that its an IP bound to the router (not the webserver).

The pinhole rules are rules that apply to inbound traffic coming from the
external interface - not the internal one. Internally you'd actually need
to be bouncing the connection in-then-out the _same_ interface. Doesn't
work that way.

If you want to test your webserver you'll need to hit up a web proxy of
some sort - try anonymizer.com.
Or use a local DNS resolver which provides your internal IP, not your
external one, when browsing the host involved. (hosts file.)

Mark.
