It isn't really, except that masquerading is the reason the situation
comes up.

Primary *public* DNS server, serving up only those names you want the
world to know about (e.g. www.yourdomain.com, not
josh.yourdomain.com).

It's not a problem. First, you need to split your DNS. You need an
*internal* DNS server that has a complete map of your 10.x.x.x
network. This is the one your internal machines will send queries
to.
With that in mind, you are free to have more than one name for the
gateway machine where Apache runs. Your inside users can use
"www.yourdomain.com" (getting the 10.x.x.x address) to see just what
the world sees, and they can use plain "www", or any other name you
choose to set up, to see the internal-only site.
