[ALUG] BT Home Hub, port forwarding

[This is not strictly Linux, but I guess it's the sort of thing a
number of people on -list may have played with]

I was playing with the port forwarding on my BTHH the other day, and
noticed something odd. If I forward port 80 from the internet to my
Linux box running Apache,  when I visit whatever non-RIPE address the
HH has at that time (from inside the NAT range), it still presents the
HH admin interface, not the Apache files - i.e. the calls aren't being
forwarded.

Is there a way around this other than running on a port other than 80?
Anyone know if it works from the internet proper (still waiting for my
BT FON to be enabled)?

TIA,

Greg
