OK, here's another firewall question

[Lil' Abner]

I'm running three computers through a D-Link router.
One of them is a webserver, mailserver, newsserver, FTP server, and more.
I have the router set up to allow the appropriate ports for that machine.
If I run a stealth test, like Shields Up, then of course all those ports
are showing as open, no matter what computer I run it from.
And, of course, I understand why, since it's checking my internet IP and
not my local IP.
Is there any kind of test that can be run on a local computer in a setup
like this?
This is more curiousity than anything else. I've unplugged the computer
with the servers on it and gotten healty results, but I was just
wondering if there was a way to test without taking the website down.
