      The NAT refelction doesn't work for virtual IP addresses.  For example, I have a DNS server (Quick DNS) with an internal IP of 192.168.11.11 and an external IP of x80.80.80.11 (not real IP).  Thier is currently a 1:1 NAT setup for this host.

      Unfortuantly the software to manage this system is very old/badly designed, and is always looking for the public IP of the host (thier is no way to change that without affecting the operation of the system).

      Is thier a way to enable reflection on virtual IP's? or if have the host listen to both the internal and extrnal IP's, is thier a way to route the public IP to the host instead of sending it out through the WAN?

          Set up a NAT rule in addition to the 1:1 mapping and you should get reflection for that service.
