Hi, Try using a subdomain DNS eg myservice.mydomain.com that will resolve internally to http://192.168.0.54 (behind router) and externally to http://99.153.32.456(direct internet connection). The DNS Server should do the rest - basically forward all requests from behind the router to the given subdomain.
Cheers!
