Thus, the assumption that you are using the DNS Forwarder or put a
different way: using the m0n0wall as the DNS server. If you are not
querying the m0n0wall to resolve DNS requests - having anything in the
"overrides" will be useless...

Here is the forwarder override concept:

1) On real DNS www.domain.tld resolves to public IP assigned WAN
interface
2) Inbound NAT translates port 80 & 443 on WAN interface to private IP
(10.0.1.200)
3) DNS Forwarder has an override for www.domain.tld pointing to private
IP
4) Client machine on LAN uses m0n0wall as DNS (or LAN DNS uses m0n0wall
as a forwarder) 
5) LAN Client quires to www.domain.tld are directed to private IP
6) "Outside" client quires to www.domain.tld are directed to public IP
