I assume you're setting "ExitPolicyRejectPrivate 0" in your relay's torrc?

Are we talking about port 80, or some other port?

Ought to work (assuming the relay's exit policy allows the connection,
and assuming the relay stays up the directory authorities consider
it reachable).

The next step would be to take a debug-level log from the client's
perspective, and put it up on a website somewhere and we can look through
it to see what's going on. If you do this, be sure to be using the recent
development code (either 0.2.1.8-alpha or svn trunk).
