not realy strange, not even unusual, because your
ping is using address 64.106.207.140 to ping 192.168.11.10

this on the other hand will succeed, as would have
ping -I 192.168.11.10 192.168.11.10 from the outside ...

no, I did the calculation a dozen times on the
mailing list, (and I guess it wasn't added to
Pauls FAQ, Paul?), but this isn't an issue ...
