I have server running on a little machine here, and I have a domain
forwarded from dydns: http://tonybaldwin.homelinux.net
but I can also view the stuff there via http://192.168.1.100:80
or, from http://localhost:80, and, even
http://tattoine:80
(tattoine being the hostname for said machine on my network).
A screenshot of my portforwarding:

This is a linksys router, but not so different.
