I tried using Lynx, with no success.

Lynx would just sit there saying "Making HTTP connection to www.somedomain.com".

I was wondering if the issue in this case could be that the web server is behind a NAT'ed firewall?

Also, the web sites are on the same machine as the DNS service.

So, on the internal network the server has an IP address, for example, of 10.1.1.100. However, in the DNS the domain has an IP address of 123.123.123.1.

In this case, Lynx is trying to open the web site that DNS says is at 123.123.123.1, while the server that the web site is really on is at 10.1.1.100. So no connection can be established.

Is this a possible explaination for the problem?

Has anyone run into this problem before?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeff
