A medium-sized enterprise has a FortiGate 100F in NAT/Route mode with three interfaces: port1 (WAN, 203.0.113.1/24, gateway 203.0.113.254), port2 (internal, 192.168.1.1/24), and port3 (DMZ, 10.0.0.1/24). The internal network hosts a web server at 192.168.1.10 and a mail server at 192.168.1.20. The DMZ hosts a public web server at 10.0.0.10 and a public DNS server at 10.0.0.20. The company has a single public IP 203.0.113.1. The administrator has configured the following: - Port forwarding: external HTTP to DMZ web server (10.0.0.10:80) and external DNS to DMZ DNS server (10.0.0.20:53). - Outbound NAT (IP Pool) for internal users to 203.0.113.1. - Firewall policies allowing internal to external, DMZ to external, and external to DMZ (for forwarded services). Users report that they can access the Internet but cannot reach the internal web server (192.168.1.10) via its public IP (203.0.113.1:80). The DMZ web server is accessible from the Internet. What is the most likely cause?
