Oh, yeah.  pmwiki.org is using named-based virtual hosts, which means
that the webserver on my end needs to know the name that you're trying
to access; IP address alone isn't sufficient information.

But this also tells me it's not a firewall issue -- it has to be an
HTTP protocol issue.

Okay, this tells me it's probably not a firewall issue, since 
aussie.lyx.org is able to connect to pmwiki.org's server on port 80.  
I even found the 404 entries in the apache error log.

So, something else is blocking things -- possibly an Apache configuration
on my end.  Out of curiosity, what are the results of the following 
wget's from aussie.lyx.org...?
