Hi all,
 
I'm not sure how I got here but here it is:  I'm unable to access the webserver (which happens to be on the same machine as the firewall) from a client on the internal private net using the canonical name of the webserver.  I can access the webserver internally using the local name.  So www.myweb&firewall.com is not accessible but http://webserver&firewall is.  When I ping from a client to www.myweb&firewall.com I get the following response:
 
pinging www.myweb&firewall.com [real.ip.number] with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
100 % packet loss.
 
So it appears that the client is getting back the correct IP of the server from the DNS but somehow I can't route there or my firewall rules aren't setup correctly.  Here they are:
 
1 "www" "*" "*" ALLOW COMMENT "Inout WWW"
2 "ntp" "*" "*" ALLOW COMMENT "Inout NTP"
3 "ftp" "*" "*" ALLOW COMMENT "File transfer"
4 "ssh" "*" "*" ALLOW COMMENT "Secure Shell"
5 "smtp" "*" "*" ALLOW COMMENT "Inout SMTP"
6 "dns" "*" "*" ALLOW COMMENT "Inout DNS"
7 "ssl" "*" "*" ALLOW COMMENT "Inout ssl"
8 "nntp" "*" "*" ALLOW COMMENT "Inout NNTP"
9 "icq" "*" "*" ALLOW COMMENT "ICQ"
10 "irc" "*" "*" ALLOW COMMENT "irc chat"
11 "common services" "iprb1.net" "localhost" ALLOW COMMENT "Inbound common services"
12 "common services" "localhost" "iprb1.net" ALLOW COMMENT "Outbound common services"
13 "UT" "*" "*" ALLOW COMMENT "UT gameplay"
14 "webct" "*" "*" ALLOW
15 "ping" "*" "*" ALLOW
16 "icmp all" "*" "*" ALLOW
17 "echo" "*" "*" ALLOW
I haven't been able to find documentation with simple examples of rulesets anywhere so I'm asking you guys.  Thanks a lot.
