Where does your DNS live? If the DNS returns the outside interface's IP, your Web-client will get directed to your FreeBSD box (which I assume is your default-gateway), and since it's also on the inside network, the IP packets will have reached where they have been directed. A possible solution is to maintain an internal DNS (that everyone will be using internally) that returns the internal webserver's IP address.
