This is probably a general routing problem. I've always handled this type of problem
by setting the default gateway to point to the Internet side and creating static
routes for the internal network(s).
If you're internal network is hidden from the outside world, be sure that your server
resolves addresses against a DNS server that knows about the internal network or
create a hosts file with the necessary mappings.
