I'm guessing the NAT/public address is the "webaddress" and the private address is the "IP's"? Just want to make sure you can use both, at least internally.

Are there any logs in smartview tracker? You can also try doing a "fw monitor" on the firewall to see if anything is happening. I'd also look for anti-spoofing messages.

Depends on when your NAT kicks in as to whether or not you use the private IP or the public IP in the rule to allow outbound traffic. You should see drops in the logs which will tell you which IP the firewall sees.
