OWA through PIX

Hi,

I want to give access for my remote users to OWA (mobile users connect to
the VPN and then exchange) by using a non standard port, let say 9999 over
http (not ssl) to the default exchange location as in:
http://external_IP:9999/exchange/username to point to
http://internal_IP/exchange/username
I have setup PIX with an access-list and a static using the port forwarding,
users are being asked for username and password, the OWA page starts
loading, and then everything becomes unavailable? If I don't do port
forwarding everything works like a charm.
Any ideas please?

That's because Outlook Web Access returns http-links to your browser,
of which your browser think he should access port 80 again.
