Mac OS X Server 10.4.11

Greatly appreciate any insights that would lead me towards a speedy resolution of this problem. I am a single person shop working at home with a Mac Mini running Tiger Server 10.4.11. In my setup, I am running an FTP server (works great for the way I use it), a bunch of other applications that also work fine for my setup. My problem, is that I use a CRM package called Daylite from Marketcircle. They just released their iPhone version of the application and I upgraded my client and server suites to the current level. This is where my problem begins. My problem is quite simple, while my server setup was not perfect, it suited me fine based on how I needed to work. The Daylite application is now a true client.server app, and as such, needs to function like any trues server/client software. I use DYN DNS to provide me with the ability to use a manual “static” IP on the server so that I can access certain applications when I am on the road. Unfortunately, this solution is not quite as good as it used to be because I know need to be able to use the new iPhone Daylite application on both my WIFI network at home, as well as over the cellular network. Without going any further, I believe that my problem is a networking one, in that I am stuck in an endless “loop” of not being able to login to my Daylite server using the hostname (mycomputer.green.com). I am able, to do so when I am away from my home office “offnet”, but not when I am on my LAN. In order to connect, I have to use the “static IP address of the server. I have a Verizon Actiontech router connected to an Airport Extreme, with a small gigabit Ethernet switch off the Airport that supports the server and the other gear in my office. I need help fixing this DNS resolution problem. I think that is what the problem is, but I do not know how to fix it. I have toyed with changing settings on the Actiontech router, the server, and on the Airport. The one place where I am very week, is on the Mac OS X server - and I think that is where the pain is. Thanks for any help! C
