John Nichel's reply wound up getting spamassassin'ed, but it is included below the SA header.
No, the internal server's IP can not be hit from outside the network, as it is on a private network. Private networks, of course, are not routable :) However, an external ping to the internal server's domain name does return the single IP address which serves the external webserver and which also needs to serve the virtual domain I'm trying to get out there. The question goes back to - how to represent an internal, private server to the internet via its registered domain name, via an apache webserver? > SPAM: -------------------- Start SpamAssassin results > ---------------------- SPAM: This mail is probably spam.
