   That's not a mod_security problem.

   One solution is to have internal servers generate external
   addresses. One way to do this is to actually install servers
   to respond to "external.com" and to have a proper, public IP
   address, and then install a gateway in front to re-route
   all TCP packets to port 80 to the proxy instead of going
   to Exchange directly.

   Or, if you can't/don't want to do that, you must put a
   mechanism in place to rewrite links in real-time. mod_proxy_html
   can do that for you.
