[geeks] Apache problem...

[Mike Hebel]

Does anybody have any experience running Apache 1.3 behind a NAT connection?

Here's the issue:

A friend of mine and I are trying to run a web server on his DSL behind 
a nat and a SpeedStream router.

Basically it goes from the outside IP ->
gets passed through the SpeedStream router on port 80 ->
to the firewall which does an rdr ->
to the internal NAT number on port 80 of the web server.

The server will serve a basic page of text but anything more complex 
like say - a table, pictures, etc. - will not even come up.  Basically 
the browser sits there and times out.

We moved it outside the firewall and configured it like the other one we 
have in the DMZ and it works fine but we'd like to run it behind the 
firewall rather than having to maintain three separate firewalls.

Has anybody dealt with this?  It's almost like it doesn't like the 
double-bounce but all the docs I can dig up say that I've got the 
SpeedStream 5800 and the IPF setup correctly.

I'm now confused and looking for help...before I take a LART to this 
thing...

- the pages made with Netscape Composer.)
