I doubt gnatsd is at fault here.  My first inclination would be to
point the finger at Apache, then at Gnatsweb.  I would crank up the
logging level on Apache and watch what happens when you try to make
the connection.

What happens if you don't have redirection rules in place, or if you
specify the file directly with
http://outsideip:port/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl, which your NAT forwards to
http://insideip:port/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?

What about a vanilla request to a static page on the server?
