ActionTec 701WG intercepting port 80 question

Well, my finds are as follows.

The ActionTec only forwards ports from the outside in, not from the 
inside in. What this means is that when I try to get to a locally hosted 
domain since the request is done on port 80, the ActionTec's port 80 
answers instead since it originates from the lan. If however someone 
from the outside makes a request for the domain, then since it's from 
the outside the ActionTec will forward port 80 to the machine running 
the web server.

In short, even if I placed the thttpd daemon on the ActionTec on a 
different port that would not solve my problem. What I need to do is 
telnet into it and issue an iptables command to also forward ports from 
the inside if I wanted to.
