you said it's apache problem but you never mentioned apache's role in problem. So, i will assume you are using mod_jk to have apache tomcat combo.
First thing to check is httpd.conf . Is your webapp and mod_jk handler are listed under your *external* host name. Second thing to check is server.xml. Is your webapp context is configured under your *external* hostname? I can think that one of this is broken and hence the problem is coming. Or if we can get config files, i may help better.
