The Nokia IP55 seemed to do it, though it had so many other problems like=
not routing to 80 from the WAN from time to time that it got replaced with=
a Netgear 834G and at the weekend I've replaced that, probably permanently=
with a D-Link 604+

To get around the problem I created a local domain local.objective2k.com=
which is managed by the internal domain server so I can address local=
machines and test and I've created objective2k.com both on the external=
domain and the internal domain as targetted addresses so I can check=
connectivity inside and outside my network.
