You can easily configure your Coda server so that the "inside world"
interface has the IP address corresponding to your hosts's normal name
(which you called "outside-name"). (You do this in /etc/hosts.) Mail
and such don't know what the internal interface names are, they only
check the nameserver entry. So you can leave your machine on
"outside-name", which according to /etc/hosts is on the IP of your
"inside world" interface, but have the nameserver tell other hosts
that your outside-name corresponds to your "outside world" interface.

Hope this helps,
