In fact it the same thing use another name in your hosts file and point
sources.list to that one, this works at least if your DMZ zone accept
port 80 connections to your mirror from inside. I have the same sort of

You can even use an IP in sources.list instead of a hostname.
If there is still a problem it comes from your second router.
