[TriLUG] NAT (?) issue - w/ports that use encryption

[Paul G. Szabady]

Greetings,

I just installed a new U-verse modem/router and after a lot of testing, 
it seems I have issues that are specific to NATd IPs and encrypted 
traffic to services on my LAN.  I'm curious if anyone out there may have 
experienced a similar issue and have a solution.  The new router is a 
Motorola NVG589.

What works:
  - Internet > router IP:port 80 > LAN (private IP) apache server
  - Client with LAN IP > router IP:port 80 > LAN (private IP) apache server
  - Internet > router IP:port 143 > LAN (private IP) IMAP server
  - Client with LAN IP > router IP:port 143 > LAN (private IP) IMAP server
  - Internet > router IP:port 993 > LAN (private IP) IMAPS server

What does NOT work:
  - Internet > router IP:port 443 > LAN (private IP) apache server
  - Client with LAN IP > router IP:port 443 > LAN (private IP) apache server
  - Client with LAN IP > router IP:port 993 > LAN (private IP) IMAPs server

This all worked fine before I upgraded the modem/router.  I'm seriously 
thinking about downgrading back to the older model....
