mod_rewrite alters / translates / permutes the request as it comes into 
Apache to some different path in the back-end.

You could also accomplish some of this with mod_proxy, specifically 
mod_proxy_html wherein you can alter / translate / permute the (Drupal 
generated) HTML as it gets served out to clients.

I believe there are also some HTML <meta> headers that can help set the 
base URL for unqualified links.  It's been a while, so do some research.

The web developer might not be responsible for the situation, but they 
are supporting and enabling the situation.  As such they should have 
equal part in supporting and enabling the solution.

P.S. Reply directly / off-list if you'd like to discuss details.
