I have a WRT54G router running with a sub-domain pointed to it, e.g.: sub.domain.com. Now I want to forward external requests (but also local) to computers which are connected to my router so if I request externally:

bob.sub.domain.com to 192.168.1.3
fred.sub.domain.com to 192.168.1.4

I've tried the following in the DNSMasq config:

address=/bob.sub.domain.com/192.168.1.4

But it references to the computer which is port forwarded if i request it externally. If I request it internally it obviously works just fine :P

How should I solve this?

Maybe you should consider setting up something like a Reverse Proxy instead. I'm not that familiar with WRTs, so I don't know if you can do that within the router itself, or if you'd need to route everything to a machine that does it for you. "Pound" is a reasonably simple reverse proxy service you could set up. – Doc Aug 8 '11 at 21:29
Thanks for the pointer. Just installed DD-WRT and now installing a reverse proxy :) – mark_dj Aug 9 '11 at 7:24

This sort of thing can be managed by a reverse proxy (as we've discussed in the comments).

mark_dj has reported that DD-WRT has a reverse proxy component you can install on it and is using that to solve his particular problem. (Or were you saying that you're setting up a reverse proxy on a separate machine and forwarding all requests?).

I've posted this answer for future viewers of this question.
