[tomato] DNS "Fixup"?

I'm running Tomato on a Buffalo router and it works great, however I am noticing an issue and I'm not sure how to resolve it.

An example of my configuration (dummy IPs)

WAN IP: 70.123.100.100
Internal IPs: 192.168.1.XXX
Router IP: 192.168.1.1
Router is set as the DNS server in DHCP settings.

I have a web server running on 192.168.1.10 and Tomato is set to route all port 80 traffic to it from the WAN. Works great.

Now, if I connect to the router via DHCP, then try to access one of my websites via web address, it never loads. Pinging the domain name gives me the "public" IP as the resolved address, but then the ping requests come back from 192.168.1.10

My old Cisco router had a "DNS fixup" that somehow saw that the DNS request was pointing back to a WAN IP, so it fixed it automatically.. so requesting your domain name would point directly to an internal IP (if you're connected to the router). Does Tomato offer such a feature? I'm guessing I'll have to change the firewall or DNSMasq configuration but have no experience with that and Tomato.

Any help would be really appreciated.

I think I fixed this on my own by changing "NAT Loopback" setting in Tomato to "All".
