Do you mean that when an internal client connects to the extrernal address of the server (as forwarded by the router), the server sees the router itself connecting? I believe there is no direct solution to this; if the router was to state the client's IP address as the source, the client would get the replies from the server (directly over the LAN), *but* they would have the source address the internal address of the server, so the client will discard them (because it expects them to arrive from the external address). A workaround is to set up DNS so that the domain name of the server resolves to the internal address for clients on the LAN.

I have WWW server inside LAN and would like to have reliable access logs.
