We recently moved to usiing NAT on our
firewall:
Private range: 192.168.0.0 -- 192.168.0.1-
192.168.0.100 for servers switches etc
DHCP: 192.168.0.101 - 254 DHCP
clients
We have internal web servers and mail server with
FQDNs that outside can access no problems by its static NAT public
address.
Problem is internal client cannot connect to
these public (statically natted) ip addresses within the local
network.
They can connect to it with the private
address.
The only fix I have so far is by putting host
files in their machines so that the web and mail servers gets resolved to
the private ip address. Also using internal DNS.
Question is why are these internal clients not
being able to access the public ip address of the web server. I cannot ping
this web server by its public ip address.
I can ping the firewall both internal and public
ip address.
Yes the web server's statically nated
address is in the same subnet as the firewall's external
ip.
Thanks
