Can someone help me figure out how to correctly setup the PIX-501 firewall to allow server at address 111.222.333.100 to make an http request back to itself?
I am unable to get server to perform an http request back to itself when called from external client. For instance, I have new version of Atlassian Jira 4.0 installed, but the new system's dashboard contains gadgets that require JIRA will make http requests back on itself in order to retrieve all the gadget specs for that dashboard from itself.
This works fine if I am on the server and use http://localhost:8780 or http://10.0.0.1:8780.
But I am unable to make any http request from server back unto itself when using http://111.222.333.100:8780 -- see settings below (note: in example ethernet address is 111.222.333.200).
The access rules seem to be fine as I am able to reach URL from external client, but the gadgets do not build.
I have the following PIX 501 Firewall configuration:
