I seem to remember that we only got some odd port punching through to
our VM, sharing the IP address with a number of other VM's.  So you'll
probably need to use a http link including the port number in the
browser URL and make Allura listen to that particular port for HTTP
requests.

Awkward like anything.  I don't think that one do port redirections via
DNS so we might be stuck with such URLs including a port number for the
time being.
