Is there a "recommended" way of hosting AC behind a firewall doing NAT? I was able to port forward everything fine, but the auth server isn't giving the DNS name I set in the realm's "address", it's resolving it locally and passing the local IP to Internet clients. Is what I'm trying to do possible?

If I setup a "Realm (External)" that points to the public IP, the auth server thinks the realm is down and won't let anyone login to it.

at least, i'm pretty sure that's what's happening.

yep, definitely. realm is setup with a DNS name that resolves to the internal IP inside the network, and to the external IP outside the network.

realm list from my auth server contains the private IP, not the DNS name

Figured it out! For posterity:
For starters, you can't have multiple realms in the realmlist that point to the same world server, since the server knows what realm ID it is.
`WorldSocket::HandleAuthSession: Client 10.0.X.X requested connecting with realm id 5 but this realm has id 1 set in config.`
The key was the difference between the `address` and `localAddress` fields. `localAddress` and `localSubnetMask` define the local LAN you're on. Any requests coming from that same LAN get the `localAddress` in their realm list response. `address` should be set to your public IP and is provided to anyone is outside the local subnet.
Thanks to whoever set it up to work like that, works a charm.

Let me know if this is the wrong place to stash this but I put together a fresh video guide on compiling an AzerothCore server in Linux land if it helps anyone.
