Using the redirect_address statement to natd.conf should give you this.

If you're natting the external IP to an internal IP, then you'll need  
to use that internal IP address on the local subnet.  You might try  
using "machinename.example.com" for the external IP, and  
"machinename.local" for the internal IP; or you can use split DNS if  
you want to use the same hostname both inside and outside.
