Good point. In my specific case, I happen to have port 80 blocked at my
firewall because I was tired of seeing code red :-).
But, the way I have my system set up is that I have a local domain where
I use /etc/host files that contain the interior LAN addresses.
The external address is served by a DNS server, and points to my
external IP address, and normally would be port-forwarded by the
firewall. 

In both cases you should be able to get at your web server from other
systems in the LAN, either by using the internal addresses or the
external addresses.
