forget it. even if you get the fw to properly route LAN clients to
LAN hosts, the host will reply via the LAN switch directly to the
client, which will not accept it because it's waiting for a response
from the internet IP.
And, doing a LAN to LAN masq is much more difficult that it appears.
You need dns for the LAN which maps to the LAN server IP, not the
internet IP. I've spent a lot of time figuring out how not to have
"conditional locational" dns, it was wasted. Just focus on having
two sets of dns records. :)
