On my OSX server there is a folder that is configured in the Server App to be accessible via WebDAV. This folder is used to sync OmniFocus. On my router, I have set up a dynamic dns. When I am outside my home network (physically away or when connected via a vpn), I can connect and sync fine via:

https://<server name from dyndns>/<username>/<path to WebDAV folder>

However, when I am in my home network, the connection to WebDAV does not work (other connections, AFP, f.ex, do work).

What could be some reasons why I can't connect to WebDAV from within my home network? What log files could give hints and where are they stored?

I am running OSX server 10.9.3. and server.app. Thanks for your help.
