IPNAT / IPF / rdr issue

I am having problems accessing internal resources (such as a web
server) from other internal clients when going from internal client ->
public address -> internal resource.  For example, when I attempt to
reach 'mydomain.com' from client machine X, the connection is refused
(I am of course, able to reach the web server through the internal
IP), however, I am able to access the web server via that URL from an
external network.  I have 'mydomain.com' pointed towards the external
IP of my gateway which in turn relays it to the internal web server. 
I have included the pertinent contents of /etc/ipnat.rules as well as
my /etc/ipf.conf file.  I am at a loss at this point...can anyone
point me in the right direction ?

Thanks in advance,

Gateway:
  OS:FreeBSD 5.4
  Firewall: IPFilter
  Port Forwarding: IPNAT
  External eth: dc0
  Internal eth: ed0 (10.0.0.0)

Web Server
  OS: FreeBSD 5.4
 WWW: Apache 2.0

Client Machine(s)
  OS: Windows XP, FreeBSD, Linux

I have the following in /etc/ipnat.rules:

# innernet
map dc0 10.0.0.0/16 -> 0.0.0.0/32 portmap tcp/udp 40000:65000
map dc0 10.0.0.0/16 -> 0.0.0.0/32

# www
rdr dc0 0.0.0.0/0 port 80 -> 10.0.0.3 port 80
