Gadget settings not working for local gadgets

For some reason UserPref's never show for any gadget hosted locally.  If the Gadget url is external to my company domain its not an issue and they render properly.   I can take the same gadget code and have one copy local and another remote (remote being outside of *.company.com) and the settings only show on the remote url gadget.
What did I do wrong?

If you're talking about using the sample container that ships with
Shindig, it actually relies on iGoogle to generate the UserPrefs UI,
so the iGoogle server needs to be able to fetch your gadget spec. That
sample container is only intended as a quick example and isn't
suitable for production code. If you're writing your own container,
you'll need to write your own UserPrefs UI. There are a few open
source containers around that you might want to start with. Partuza is
one of the more mature ones (http://www.partuza.nl/).
