Technically, one can manage that in a number of ways in Gauntlet.
It is possible set some default server for the http proxy, so that
all connections coming on the firewall itself are forwarded to this default
server. Or, you may have a plug gateway on a specific port
on the firewall which would plug all connections to the internal
server. Or, you may run netacl on port 80 in order to distinguish
between inbound and outbound requests...

I belive there are a few more possibilities. Please see the
manual and http://www.tis.com/support.
