It's right!
If you have a nat or a port forward, the front end machine don't re-route
traffic internally.
If you want to see the internal web server using domain name you must put
in your hosts file the domain name as:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  	www.domain.example
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is your internal IP. This operation on hosts file
needs when you have virtual domains to try.
