10-bjork# nslookup www.ibacsoft.dynu.com
Name:    www.ibacsoft.dynu.com
Address:  200.67.41.134

What happens when you do a "traceroute 200.67.41.134" from an internal 
machine...does it get to the web server as you expect?

If the webserver is the same system as the NAT box, you'll have to add that IP 
to the natd flags and maybe apache's config file, I believe...
