On the SME gateway server in the server manager Hostnames & Addresses panel, you need to add a Hostname for server-only servername pointing at IP of  192.168.1.4

Then configure your workstations to use the gateway server for DNS.

Then http://servername/ should resolve correctly from any workstation on your LAN.
