Can't browse HTTP server locally

[perdong]

Given information:

Domain: mydomain.org - was used to replace the real domain name.

external ip: 1.1.1.1
internal network: 192.168.1.0/24

pfsense ver: 2.1.4

external custom http port: 4444
internal http port: 80 (default)
http server: apache2

DNAT
Internet > 4444 firewall/nat > 80: Apache

• this scenario works, sweet!!!

Internal http test through browser.
LAN > 80: 192.168.1.100

• this simple test failed.

Then the problem begins…

Port Test Results: (using pfsense utility)
Connection to web.mydomain.org 80 port [tcp/http] succeeded!

• there splitDNS is working and pfsense can resolve web.mydomain.org

• To cut this throubleshooting short. I replaced pfsensebox with a Linksys home router. Configured NAT, DNAT and local http testing was successful. Therefore i can point out that there is something mis-configured (which i may have missed) in my pfsensebox.

Kept digging for a fix. Found these workaround but failed.

https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Why_can't_I_access_forwarded_ports_on_my_WAN_IP_from_my_LAN/OPTx_networks

I did "Method1" and "Method2" but both approach failed.

pfsense was able to resolve http server through nslookup.

C:\Documents and Settings\admin>nslookup web.mydomain.org
Server:  miguel.mydomain.org
Address:  192.168.1.254

Name:    web.mydomain.org
Address:  192.168.1.140

but not able to browse the site. I use "Test port" if pfsensebox can probe if there's a webserver in 192.168.1.140 which is the http server, and it was successful.

Port Test Results:
Connection to web.mydomain.org 80 port [tcp/http] succeeded!

Used chrome to view the home page of the webserver, but still failed.

Any suggestion of how to make this work at pfsense box?

and can't find any http traffic within the 192.168.1.0/24.
