Hi Mark;

Verify via your access logs after accessing from externally with the Allow
all on, that you are presenting with a truely EXTERNAL source address.  Some
configurations might strip off source address and rewrite header for NAT.

Your external address IP's (matching the logs) should be added to your
configuration file:

VirtualHost photoIP:8080>

         DocumentRoot /var/www/gallery

         <Directory />
                 Options FollowSymLinks
                 AllowOverride None
         </Directory>

         <Directory /var/www/gallery>
                 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                 AllowOverride All FileInfo Options
                 Order allow,deny
                 Deny from all
                 # internal access
                 Allow from 192.168.25.0/24
                 Allow from 127
                 # Web server
                 Allow from 69.50.203.0/24
         </Directory>

AND verify:

a)  That your Cox or DSL connection does not limit inbound port 8080
addresses.
b)  Port 8080 is forwarded inbound on your router, like 80 would need to be.

Make sense?
