Found out what is going on.  The lookup of vidiot.com says that it needs to
go outside of the box.  Fine and dandy.  What is wrong is that the DSL
modem/router knows that it is that address.  When it gets a request from the
LAN, it keeps it and points the http request at the internal DSL web server.
An http request coming in from the WAN port, is routed to 192.168.1.1, as
configured.

I'm not sure which of the two I'll do.  Whatever I do has to not break other
things, like mail :-)
