      Hi All,

      I have a sub domain, testsite.domain.com, setup to point to my firewall's public IP address.

      I have setup the Squid reverse proxy to forward this to an internal web server on the DMZ (private IP), where there is an IIS site setup listening on this sub domain. Port number is 80 throughout.

      I've also setup a firewall rule to allow traffic and port forwarding, but the internal web server is never hit.

      What am I doing wrong?

        Trying to reach a machine from LAN using WAN IP. Sorry but meaningful reverse proxy testing cannot be done from LAN. Unless you have a separate DMZ interface and RP set up on a different LAN interface, this just won't work.
