Mailman was always intended to use relative href's in the web
interface, but due to a bug , this didn't work in 2.1.x prior to
2.1.12.

Will an http://lists.example.com/mailman/... URL work inside the LAN?
If so, you can set

DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'lists.example.com'

in mm_cfg.py and run fix_url to update the web_page_url attributes of
all the lists so the URLs will be http://lists.example.com/mailman/...

If this won't work, and you can't upgrade to 2.1.12, you may be able to
fix the bug. See
<http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/2.1/revision/1154#Mailman/Utils.py>
for the fix.
