I've searched the internet looking for a way to configure my Actiontec C1000A loopback, but it appears this router doesn't support it.
So I've come up with a workaround using my hosts file located in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc.
I have a web server running in my home and port forwarding configured on the Actiontec router. It works and anyone on internet can see my web sites.
However, I can't see them within my own network because the router needs to loopback.
My web server hosts three web sites using vhost; all on one IP address 192.168.0.134 within my lan.
I've added these three lines to my hosts file:
192.168.0.134 serverA.com
192.168.0.134 serverB.com
192.168.0.134 serverC.com
I'm pleased to figure out this workaround. It does what I need it to do.
Now if I can just figure out how to edit the hosts files on my iPad, Nexus tablet, LG Phone, etc.
