Yes, but clients try to open URLs like "http://123.123.123.123"; (or whatever your IP is) or "http://www.mydomain.net";? If its the former, do you really need them to call the external IP? If its the latter case, you can just add a line to your /etc/hosts file like: 127.0.0.1 www.mydomain.net and make sure your server listens on the lo0 interface... Plus check your /etc/resolv.conf file to make sure the hosts file gets 'looked up' before the nameserver...
