The DNS entry is actually hosted on external servers, and I don't want to
fake the whole domain internally. �We are also looking for a solution that
allows us to change things quickly, and the DNS propagation is an issue.

Now that is a good idea! �A couple of static NAT's would be easy to manage.

Does this also work for https? �Assuming that it is IP protocol 6 and port
443 rather than 80? �If so, it is also an elegant solution which is
immediately obvious when looking at the rulebase.

It most certainly has!

Many thanks,
