Pseudo-external access to an internal server

Is there any tool/webapp that would allow me to access an internal server, but access it as if I were external to my LAN? Right now I can enter in localhost and access it, but I want to see if I can type in the external IP address to my server, and make sure http/ftp works. Of course I can't do that while I'm inside the LAN. Short of physically accessing the server from outside the LAN, is there a "fake" way of doing it? All I'd really need is some app where I type in the URL, and it accesses the URL and shows me the page that it sees.
 
Any ?fake? thing is not going to tell you whether your Router will pass the signal or Not.

However if you have two Routers (or if it so important you can find a second Router for $15) connect the two Routers in serial. Any computer on the First Router would be like the outside Internet to any computer on the second Router. (serial means second Router?s WAN goes to regular port on first Routers. IP subnets etc. has to be configured correctly).
