[plug] Firewall

Guys,

Apologies if this is off-topic but...

I've just set up my firewall at home, using a linux distro called
Smoothwall.  It's quick and easy to set up - took me only 20 minutes
- - no kernel compiles, etc...

Anyway, the default behaviour of this firewall is to deny all packets
that ORIGINATE in the outside world, but let replies from packets
from behind the firewall in.  A little tweaking (about 40 seconds)
and I had set up a forward to my web server on port 80.

Now, the problem is, I have two names for my machine which both point
to the same IP.  One is for the main web page, and one is for my
private web page.  Unfortunately, the way the firewall is set up, ALL
requests to my web server go the main page, which obviously I don't
want.

Anyone have any ideas how to work around this?  I can provide my
firewall rules, if necessary.

Thanks in advance.

John Breen.
