I have always pointed the public registration at a different server than 
the one used by internal machines behind the NAT so I can't help with 
configuring views on a single server, although I believe it is supposed 
to be supported.  These directions might work:

Some other responses have mentioned letting the NAT router do it for you 
by adjusting the address on responses to outside queries.  Some routers 
do have that capability (I think the Cisco PIX is one), but not all can 
do it and the configuration would be specific to the type.
