Make LAN virtual hosts available to Internet - Possible?

Hi!

I run a mandrake linux server on my LAN, running apache with Dynamic
Virtual Hosts.

On the lan I use the DNS server to route the requests to the apache
server and the server uses the name (its name based virtual hosting) to
determine what page to send.

Now, I would like to make these 'virtual hosts' available to the
internet so others can view them. I have opened up the firewall (port
80), but to be honest im not sure if I can make the individual hosts
accessible (and how!)...


Is this possible - using Pre-routing and ports? or any other way???


Thanks, Graham!

Have you actually tried to view these pages off your network?

Try entering in your domains here: http://samspade.org/t/safe and see if you
see your source for each domain.

PS: mandrake's apache is a BITCH to configure IMHO.
