External Access to ReportManager via a NetScaler

I'm using ReportServices 2005.  I would like external access to ReportManager via a Netscaler.  If I issue a request in the form https:<website>/reports, the Netscaler directs it to the ReportingServices server as http:<IP>/reports.  I have custom authentication on the site.

A problem occurs because ReportingServices forwards to the server directly and the Netscaler times out.  So ReportingServices issues the redirect 

http:<IP>/Reports/Pages/UILogon.aspx?ReturnUrl=http:<IP>/reports/Pages/Folder.aspx

I believe this would work correctly with the Netscaler if relative paths were used, rather than absolute paths.

My question is therefore, is there a way of using a relative path in those config values, used by ReportingServices to construct redirect statements - for example, in "ReportServerURL", if this is used to do this?  Or is there another method of getting this to work with a Netscaler?

Thanks.
