I think it has something to do with DNS. From the outside (WAN) I can connect with a OS X Server account to my hostname (server.example.com) But when I'm in my local network (where the server is standing) I have to use the local hostname.
Maybe a different topic, but does anybody know how to get your hostname working within it's own local network?
You're looking to implement use what's called split-horizon DNS, and what are called views. This works, but views are past the ability of the local Server.app user interface. But since you're likely not serving public DNS from these servers, you can avoid all that and set up your internal DNS using the same domain and host names, with internal IP addresses. This does mean you will have to track changes across two pools of DNS servers; across your internal DNS servers and the external DNS servers being used by your DNS registrar. FWIW, I generally use a separate domain inside and outside, or a subdomain of a real and registered domain inside. Externally visible names are thus different from internally-visible names, and all mapping takes place either at the firewall and/or in the Sites (Apache Virtual Hosts) configuration inside Server.app. There are details on DNS configuration on OS X Server available around the 'net, too.
