If you are trying to access your resource by NAME, which then gets resolved to an IP address, try putting a HOSTS entry on the firewall that points to the needed IP address. Then when the firewall responds to requests for that name from the internal network, it points it at the correct location. Requests like this from outside should never arrive at your firewall (unless it is the primary DNS server for your domain, in which case you have a slightly different problem.
This issue is not unique to any particular firewall, but to how a network is set up. I've had to do the above tip with IPCop as well. HTH, if not, then you are probably looking at tweaking iptables which takes a bit to get your head around...
