Well if you want the kernel to route IPV4 traffic, then yes it has to be 1

yea that needs to be a 1
That cannot be mandatory, as I have a 0 there and do not have the OP's problem.
You've changed the question. The OP did not say he wanted "to route IPV4 traffic". He said he could not access his server from local machines.
Are you saying you must have the setting you mention in /etc/sysctl.conf ? That cannot be true, as I can access my server and I don't have your entry.
Check your iptables rules. Maybe there are no INPUT rules to access your gateway via internal nic.
