Nat Problem? setup problem?

[David Smith]

That makes sense, and would explain what is happening..

I'm worried more about my wife's outlook than about apache. I can just
use a local address anyway for apache.

The main problem will happen when I try to send mail from inside the
network and the DSL modem grabs mail.mydomain.com as well. 

Is there a way to make my lunix box redirect everything incoming from
eth1 and addressed to a domain (or list of domains) or my external (is
that the correct term?) IP to itself?

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
