Is your firewall set up to allow packets from within the network
(including the vpn) to transverse freely?
Also, just as a matter of paranoia, I wouldn't recommend having all those
services running directly off the gateway device, esp. if it's also your
firewall. If someone gets through one of those services, your entire
network is open to them. Best to DMZ those services if you can.
