Good day Peter,
It is possible for this to work by using a technique called hair
pinning, the problem is that you may start getting strange behavior
with your inside network.
This feature was originally intended to allow vpn clients to
communicate to each other, but can be abused to perform the NATing
that you need.
Cisco has released a nice video tutorial on how to do this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjEfdfI0BqY and we have used this
technique in labs, but try not to use it for production networks.

Good Luck,
Brian
