Note that I said, IF domains are shared.  The easiest and best solution
is to have different domains inside and out.  One can be a subdomain of
the other.  This is not always possible.  If not, it's best to have as
few names as possible shared, for the very reasons that you are talking
about.

WEB interfaces, though?  ;-?  ;-/
