Is this indicative that there is a problem with the setup???
No. What happened was you local client created an HTTP request to the public
IP which the hostname in the URL resolved to. Your NAT box saw that this
public IP was in fact being NAT'ed to a local host, and issued an ICMP
redirect telling the client about the shorter route.
If this didn't work right, your apache config probably doesn't mention the
local IP in the virtualhost section or some such, but the HTTP result and/or
the apache logs will give more info to track down any such details.
You can also set up "split-horizon DNS" or perform similar tricks in
/etc/hosts to convince machines on your LAN to lookup the www hostname as
local IP rather than as public IP, which would remove the ICMP redirect from
the situation entirely.
