My CentOS-7 home server has a static IP address.
Is there a simple way of organizing the hpptd server so that it is accessible through this address at a remote host, but is accessed at its 192.168 address by a laptop on the WiFi LAN?

Is the static IP address that you mention public or private?
You could use Limit statements in apache or iptables firewalling to do this.

I guess there could be a way of organizing what I want through shorewall, which I am running on my home server?

are you also running your own DNS at home? is this httpd server 'dual homed' and have a NIC on both the internet side and your local LAN ?
you could run split DNS, so on your LAN, mydomain.com is 192.168.x.x while on the internet, mydomain.com is the actual IP address.

I'm not running my own DNS server, and would prefer not to.

I'm not quite sure what "dual-homed" means. The machine on which httpd runs has a fixed IP address. Is there any way this machine could be accessed on the local LAN through this IP address, rather than 192.168... ?

I'd rather not run a DNS server on my machine. I tried this some years ago, and ran into trouble.

Why not put mydomain.com 192.168.whatever in your /etc/hosts file? No need to run a dns server to hard-code one single lookup like that.

Thanks very much, that seems to work. I added "www.myserver.com" to the line starting 192.168.2.5.

My home firewall (pfsense) runs a local DNS caching resolver (unbound), and I can add IP-name overrides to it via the web UI... I dislike putting stuff in /etc/hosts as its so 'out of sight, out of mind'

Your Wifi Lan have DNS, you may configure host name there so you can access via host name and not memorize ip
