Sorry for the confusing info in my original post.  Let my try to clarify
based on the questions received.

192.168.1.254 is the internal IP address of the DSL modem.  66.x.x.x is
the IP address assigned to the connection between my ISP and the DSL
modem.

Yes.

Yes.

The machine has two NICs:

192.168.1.10 connects to the DSL modem.
192.168.2.1 connects to the internal network.

This machine houses the the web daemon.

Yes.  Any connection made from outside my internal network, i.e.,
someone trying to access Apache from the Internet.

I don't understand this question.

That's the response received when trying to access the webserver from
the Internet (i.e., from outside the internal network - from home,
another office, etc.).

Internal requests for external resources route out 192.168.1.10, which
is connected to the DSL router, which is connected to the Internet.

192.168.2.0 is the internal network.
192.168.1.0 houses the NIC connecting to the DSL router (192.168.1.10)
and the DSL router (192.168.1.254).

192.168.2.1 is a NIC on the server.
192.168.2.2 is a workstation.
192.168.2.6 is a workstation.
etc.

192.168.1.10 is a NIC on the same server previously mentioned.
192.168.1.254 is the DSL router.  The router connects to 192.168.1.10
and the Internet.

I hope this helps.  If I can provide further info, please let me know.
