Title: A beginner's question

Does the following command look right to you all? 

We are trying to forward (open up) a port on our firewall so that an outsider can test web pages on our internal test server:

               
                ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 216.*.*.*  80 -R 192.*.*.*:8000
                (where the 216 number is the firewall and the 192 number is the internal test server)

I thought we were simply forwarding Port 80 of the firewall to Port 8000 on the internal server so that the user from outside would simply type:  http://192.*.*.*:8000 and get the test server.  Someone else says that the outsider types http://216.*.*.*:8000 and gets the test data.  Neither one of them work now anyway so something is wrong even if I am unclear on the concept.

Thanks for your patience with me.
