I've only seen that when the webserver has been accessed by a non-LAN
address.  I haven't looked into what it considers to be an external
address, I presume it's using the netmask.

e.g. If a server's at 192.168.1.6 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0, then
anything from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.255 is on the LAN, anything else
is considered external.

Do you run a webserver?  Is it accessible externally?  Do you want it to
be?
