I actually solve this by serving an internal domain and an external 
domain. I have my nameserver set up to do internal machines on .putar 
addresses (yes, "intarnet.putar" resolves inside my LAN). This way, 
external hosts can resolve my vaio as "creamy.posixnap.net" and 
internally I use "creamy.putar."

This has saved me a lot of trouble. I can provide you with the 
appropriate files if you would like.
