Best solution is to put your https and cvs servers on their own network segment (a DMZ, if you like), so that traffic from both the outside world and your internal LAN have to pass through the gateway machine running netfilter in order to reach the https & cvs servers. If yoou don't want to do that, you end up with horrible combinations of SNAT and DNAT on the gateway machine, and every time you access the https / cvs server from a LAN client, the server will think it's the gateway which is connecting (which may mess up the authentication of your X.509 certificates?) For the cost of a single LAN card (or two if you don't want to have another switch / hub), this is by far the easiest solution.
