This will work but it isn't always necessary.  I can get to my server 
from my internal LAN using either the internal or external IP.

On a whim I tried tracerouting from inside to the outside IP.  Hey, 
look!  A router at Qwest (my ISP) shows up.  That's handy.

So to add to my original answer, it looks like the ability to reach the 
external IP from inside may depend on your ISP.

Looking at my router's routing table, this behavior is what you'd 
expect.  I can put a route in to cut the ISP out but that seems to break 
my DNAT (and routing through my ISP and back seems like it might be useful).

So you might look at the Zoom's routing table -- maybe it has a route 
for your external IP and you're seeing DNAT break.  Maybe it doesn't and 
you're seeing your ISP's router doing something odd.  What does it say?
