How many internal machines do you have?  I've got < 10 so I just put the
private ip for my web server in the individual host files for each
machine.

I think you want to register your domain (domain.com) with the dns and
then let your firewall handle the forwarding of www.domain.com and
mail.domain.com.

As for accessing your server via www.domain.com, I suspect that needs to
be configured within your webserver (apache?).
