I agree - I have never had a router that works for this - which is
annoying because it is easier to just use a single hostname whether
you are inside your LAN or outside. The only way I konw of solving
this is to have a dns server on your router that changes the ip
address to an internal one (and only use that dns server when you are
inside your network)
