Yes, its the same problem I have when accessing my webserver from inside my
firewall, a dns lookup gives me the external address of the router

The solution would be to sort out the internal DNS forwarder but until I get
my head round bind the workaround is to put the domain name in my
local 'hosts' file with the local IP address and comment it out when I'm
outside the firewall.

Unless anybody else has any easy ways to achieve this?
