Interesting... It sounds, based on your description of what your doing, that you really aren't forwading to the page, you just need to return it out of your Action. If that's the case, my suggestion of getting a stream on it (treat it like an ordinary file, attach no special meaning to the fact that it's an HTML document) and render it to the response manually. I THINK that will get you what you need...
