  In general, getting Apache to work properly inside NAT is almost
entirely a matter of 1) getting the inbound connections routed to it by
the NAT box, 2) making the DNS look right to the Apache box.  The fancy
way to do it is to set up a split-view DNS, the quick-n-dirty way is to
just put its DNS name and private address in the hosts table on the
apache machine.  That would also get the server name matching properly
with the cert name you're using, since certs go by FQDN not IP.

  I'm not 100% sure whether any other issues would come up for running
SSL into it, but I don't think so as long as you've got the inbound
connections tunnelled to it properly by the NAT router.  I'd just give
it a shot and see if it works.
