I don't know if it is just our system, but hereabouts OWA is
https instead of http.

The PIX will NEVER do ip loopback.

If your inside users need to be able to access via the external
IP *address*, then you are not going to be able to get it to work
without horrendous hacks.

If it is acceptable for your users to all access by host *name*,
then if your DNS server is external, use the 'alias' command on
the PIX, and if your DNS server is internal, configure it to
return different answers to internal users than to external users
[e.g., BIND9 'split views'.]

Thank you very much, Walter.

If The PIX will NEVER do ip loopback, I will try DNS.
