Q: port-based redirect ceased to work after upgrading Capitan to 10.11.3
I have a web-service running on a virtual machine (virtualbox VM), which I can access on my mac via 192.168.99.100:8000. The mac itself is listening at 192.168.1.2. For port 8000 I have setup a redirect on the websites server (OSX server version 5.0.15) pointing to 192.168.99.100:8000. This works, as long as called from the mac (even when called from another VM on that mac).
The redirect fails though when trying to access from other machines within the 192.168.x.y space, or when called from the internet.
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3), OSX Server Ver. 5.0.15, Xcode 7.2.1

wow... I just played around a bit more, and here is what now worked:
I simply removed the redirect in the OSX server! And now the mac is simply listening on 8000 and retrieving the VM content... !!
I never tried this before, because it was my first approach on El Capitan 10.11.2, where it never worked, and the redirect did. Now on 10.11.3 it is working without the redirect (totally preferred!!)
Thanks for the sparring round!
