I have a question. I want to be able to run XOOPS on an internal network behind a firewall, and remotely. I have no problem with port forwarding, but I do have a problem with the naming schema XOOPS uses ((probably my misunderstanding).

Internally I should be able to type the computer hostname to access it, for example: http://xoops:8080
Externally I should be able to hit it using the fully qualified domain name like http://www.mysite.com:8080/

However, XOOPS requires me to put in the domain address when installing. This means that when I type http://www.mysite.com:8080 in, my request goes outside the firewall and comes back in and I never connect. If I install with the name XOOPS as my virtual path, I connect just fine on the local network, but externally it won't because it substitute xoops:8080 for the address once I log in.

Can someone help?
