Depends on the default POLICY for your FORWARD chain. If the default
policy is to drop, then you don't need it.

Is the firewall the gateway to the internet for your users?

iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -d
www.mydomain.com -j REDIRECT --to-destination 192.168.10.11:80

That should work (eth0 is your internal interface, right?) ...

Of course you also need the forwarding rules:

iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --dport 80 -d 192.168.1.11 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --sport 80 -s 192.168.1.11 -j ACCEPT

These are very wide open rules. You might want to add the -i and maybe
state checking...
