IPNAT / IPF / rdr issue

[Andy Sutcliffe]

The hosts file on the gateway contains subdomains of domainname.com
(such as www for th web server, ftp, as well as client hostnames). 
All clients are behind the gateway.  The IP address is not static, but
it may as well be, as it rarely changes.  The cabling for the network
is as follows:

DSL interface -> gateway's external interface | gateway's internal
interface -> switch -> all clients, including www server and normal
pc's
