I think you can do it by manually renaming some files and directories 
after the initial backup instead of modifying the source.

Create a backup definition for both the LAN host/share and the internet 
host/share name.
Do the initial backup on the LAN.
Rename the /var/bobsdata/current/host/share from the LAN names to the 
internet names.
Do the same for /var/bobsdata/incremental/host/share.
Also rename the .db and .ser in both directories to the internet share name.
Then enable the internet backup definition.

I haven't tried it, but I can't think of why it wouldn't work.
