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.
