I think the problem is your diagram in the way that I would expect a 
network to be set up - although you sohuldn't need the 80> 81 conversion

My topology looks more like;

ex1 --- 80 -> 80-> router ---------- 80 ---> firewall ----> server

ex2 --- 80 -> 80-> router ---------- 80 ---> firewall ----> server



I'm pretty sure my main issue stems from the fact that the router has an 
internal ip address. Therefore everything arriving at the firewall looks 
like it's come from the internal ip of the router which is course a 
single ip and therefore to use the same port numbers
