Firewall, allow inside to access outside interface

Dear all,

I have a firewall with several public IP's for different services. One service should be accessible from the inside but I haven't found any way to solve this on my inside network so I must route my inside hosts to the specific public IP address.

I'm pretty sure it's just a security policy, and maybe I must edit the NAT list but I'm not exactly sure.

I have a Palo Alto firewall, but I guess any suggestions will work since this is a more "generic" question...

Need a bit more information as i am a little confused as to what you are trying to do.

Are you talking about something like you host your own web (or whatever) service internally so the public facing DNS points to your exteernal interface so users external to your netowrk can access the service, and you want internal users to also see the website? if this is the case it is a DNS issue and not a firewall issue.

Can you explain what it is you are trying to acheive.

Cheers
Andrew

Thanks guys! I will do a little research on both and come back with my solution. I think both suggestions (DNS & Hairpinning) will work fine.

Hairpin was what I was looking for!
How did you set this up? We are looking for the same thing and are having a few problems.
