WAN vs LAN access problems

[Sears, Jeremy]

whoa, Im not sure what just happened there, It seems my original post and
Bart's response got bounced twice ...


To add to my response to Barts reply,.. 
I believe that the proxy server that directs requests to the internal server
is IIS.
So the situation goes somthing like:

http request for a map ----> IIS proxy ------> Apache/Mapserver

then back out to the web like:
Apache/mapserver ---------->IIS proxy -------> web browser

Could there be potential issues with such a senario?

Thanks
Jeremy

Does your machine have an internal and external IP address?

If you view the HTML source of your application, what URL do the images 
reference?

Best regards,
