	Yeh, run an internal DNS server which resolves the site
	differently on the inside of your network to the internal address.

	Any other workaround is considered shitty by most people, like:

		ipfw divert natd all from any to any via $outside_int
		ipfw divert natd all from any to any via $inside_int

	However, this would probably work [not sure].
