Of course it is possible for the internal Web server to be configured not to
respond to these requests. But it isn't a TCP/IP issue as such; it's an
application-level issue, most likely. Web servers know things about their
identity (their base URL, for example), and yours might not know it is
supposed to respond to those connections.

This isn't the best place to troubleshoot Web-server configuration problems
... but even to begin to try, we need to know what Web server is involved,
as well as what OS. Probably more than that, but that's certainly a starting
place. Checking the Web server's logs for clues would also be a good idea.

It also *could* be a routing issue, if the Web server's host doesn't have
its gateway address set correctly (or has some other problem with its routing).

Other things to consider trying are to log DENY'd packets on the LEAF router
(then look for any port-8080 DENYs) and sniffing the traffic going in and
out of the LEAF router's internal interface.
