Yes, I can get to my web page with the local IP of Keats, which is 
mapped statically in /etc/hosts.  The trouble is I can't write links 
that way on other web pages I have (not on Keats).  They have to use 
the external IP.  So I can't follow them or check them, which is really 
annoying.  It is enough of a nuisance that my wife only looks at our 
web page from work.

And I do wish that the Zoom did this right.  It seems broken the way it 
is.

Sigh.
