NAT question

[Justin Georgeson]

Ok, so assume this scenario, a box with two NICs runng ipvs with only 
NAT rules. One interface goes to the net, the other goes to a private 
lan. On the internal side, I need to be able to make a connection that 
goes to the external side and is forwarded back in. I have a server, 
same as the one that was doing anonymous ports, that I give a hostname. 
It resolves the hostname and gives clients the resolved IP. So if I give 
it an internal hostname that resolves to an internal IP, clients can't 
connect. If I give it an external name that resolves to an external IP, 
it's screwed up (forget exactly why). So, I need to be able to make a 
connection from my private lan, to a public IP which has ports forwarded 
back into the same lan. Forgive me if this all seems like stupid stuff 
I'm asking lately, but this server runs in JBoss/Tomcat but was only 
tested on windows with a firewall called TinyFirewall running on the 
same box. Thanks.
