[Memphis.pm] redirecting a localhost web server through cgi

[Big Ed]

You have a firewall in front of your webserver and you need to be able to 
see the webserver through the firewall?  If that's the case, no perl scripts 
are going to help you.  You need to set up a Port Forward from your firewall 
to your webserver.  What kind of firewall is it?
