Ed,
What is between the server and the internet?
You said you have a dynamic IP resolved to a static ip
which monitors by local dynamic IP and re-routes as
necessary....what do you mean? Do you mean you have a
DNS provider that is mapping your domain name to your
dynamic ISP provided IP address?
Pinging it won't necessarily give you a accurate test, as
the first host that is "translating" or NAT'ing the IP
will probably responde to the IP request.
My guess is that you need to setup your device that is
between your web server and your external IP to forward
all HTTP requests to your internal server. Then find out
what the IP address of the device between the web server
and the internet is. Browse to that IP address. My
guess is it will.
Then update your dynamic dns providers info with that IP
and your off and running using your domain name.
Have fun,
Tim
