RE: Which IP? Apache BIND Internal External? arrrggh
Ok so you are using NAT. Although it is an unsupported setup (we're sorry Tongue), you can make it work by:

1. Using only the internal IP everywhere
2. Use an external DNS service for users outside of your LAN (yeah, you will have to manually create the records there).

This is the simplest setup that will allow you to serve pages and send/receive mails (provided you forward the corresponding ports, of course).

You can not use external IP's in the apache config, and bind may also cause some problems with local dns requests when serving external IP's. You could look at bind's documentation on how to serve different records depending on the client (external clients get external IP's, internal clients get internal IP's), but it would require an effort that I simply wouldn't take for a simple test machine Smile
