Mail Server Access

There are probably not too many people that experience this issue, but if you have a mail server or even a web server on your LAN then you have probably encountered this issue.

You have a domain that allows you to connect from external locations via the WAN IP address. Now your device is on your LAN and you need to connect via a LAN IP instead of the resolved WAN IP. When you think about it, this becomes clear that the role of DNS needs to provide the answer. In my case, I simply added an entry for my domain to point to a LAN IP on my router. My router's IP is the first DNS entry for connected devices. Problem solved...
