I am using a CISCO PIX 501 with port 80 forwarded to my web server. I
am using a flash content manager called fCMS on my website. The way
the content manager is pathed it has to go out to http://www.domain.com
on the web and come back into the web server. The PIX does not allow
this but I don't know why. Does anybody know how to allow traffic to
go out and come back in? Thank you for your help in advance!

You can't do that on a PIX 501.

However, what you -can- do is reconfigure you DNS services
so that when an inside host makes a request to www.domain.com
it is told the internal IP address rather than the external IP
address.

The mechanisms for configuring that depend upon whether your
DNS server is inside or outside. If it is outside, it would
be configured by using the 'dns' keyword on a 'static' command,
if you are using PIX 6.3; in PIX 6.2, you would look at the 'alias'
command instead.

Sorry for the late reply! When an inside host goes to www.domain.com
it resolves to the internal IP which is why we are so confused as to
why this is a problem. The fCMS software support can't figure it out
either! Thanks!

Is "http://www.domain.com" the same URL as the hosted one on the inside
server,
or is it on an outsied server ?

www.domain.com is an internal hosted server. Thanks!
