I can ssh to the server, but I can no longer access it via Timbuktu or http
on port 80 (port 8010 for example works fine since it is what I use for
Communigate pro administration. (Is it possible that Communigate messes
something up, because I installed Communigate pro shortly after installing
iTools?

No I used 120.0.0.1 as the first DNS server. After that I listed those from
my ISP. When putting my servers ip number there it no longer works. (But
doing a reverse lookup for 192.168.1.2 which is my servers ip number shows
the server's domain name so it seems to work.)

What I am trying to do is getting the server to accept http requests for the
domain name "mydomain.com" which points to our public ip where the router
points it to our server which has ip number 192.168.1.2, which in turn is
called mydomain.com in my DNS settings.

The reason I tried to add 192.168.1.2 as a virtual domain is that I thought
that since it was called "mydomain.com2 in my DNS setup, it would work.
Adding a virtual domain called mydomain.com does not help either.

The server accepted requests to that domain "by default" before I installed
iTools and set up Bind with it. I had not touched Apples Server admin
settings for Web service. Just leaving them as they where pre concigured and
every thing was working. I did not have internal DNS configured either.
