Use your internal IP address instead of the DNS name when you configure your local clients. If you want to use the DNS name for everywhere you need to do one of the following;
1.) Turn on/configure hairpin NAT in your router (if it supports it)
2.) Setup split-DNS with a zone/record for your public TLD with the record pointing to your internal IP address
3.) Use something like the HOSTS file (in windows for example) to override DNS resolution on each device
1 and 2 are the "right way to do it" with number 3 being more of a workaround. I would just use the local IP address so you know it is staying local.
