Environment variables are specific to a particular machine and are typically set by one program and read by another. They are not "passed through" - ie, sent from one machine to another... Name-based virtual hosting works by matching the contents of the "Host" header in the request with the arguments to the ServerName and ServerAlias directives. Assuming that the packet containing the request makes it through the FW, there is no reason why the Host header should be lost. I suspect the problem is more to do with your network configuration. For example; - how many IP addresses does apache listen to? - does it listen to the external (real) IP? - does it listen to an internal IP (eg 192.168...) - does the FW translate the external IP to an internal one? - are your NBVHs setup on the internal or external IP? Think carefully about the route a packet takes from the outside world into the server and how it is routed as it goes through the FW (ie, how does its destination IP change).
