[TriLUG] OT: DNS/Routing Curiosity

Hi List,
  Been meaning to toss this question out there and see if anyone would
enlighten me..  Here's the scoop:
At home, I can, for example, type in http://cheetah.dynip.com on any
computer inside my home LAN and get my website.  cheetah.dynip.com points to
my DSL external IP.  So apparently, packets for that particular connection
go outbound, then turn around at the nearest external router to find their
way to my server.
At work, however, the same trick doesn't seem to work.
http://strutmasters.net doesn't come back around to our server; it just
never gets answered.  From outside it works as expected.
What could be the difference?
Is that enough info to explain what I want to know?  I'll be happy to go
into greater detail if necessary.

Cheers,
~Brian
