WordPress multi-URL setup?

    So not to be mistaken i’m talking about single site setup not multi-site setup of WordPress. Also my apologies in advance if this has been posted in the wrong section, i wasn’t entirely sure since my topic is based on a setup/installation issue, yet the problem itself is more or less a working setup issue.

    So right away here’s my setup – WordPress 3.0.4 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard with IIS7.5 + URL Rewrite, MySQL and Zend Server CE. All requirements met, everything set, configured and working just fine.

    But … the problem is that the server is located on my Local network, for WordPress to be accessable from the web, the site URL is set to https://mydomain.com/ … but, each time i would access it from my computer on the local network i would have to first change the site URL in MySQL database trough phpmyadmin to servers local IP.

    So i wanted to know if it is possible to have a WP setup where i could access it trough the server local network IP and at the same time people could still access it from the web trough “https://mydomain.com” without me having to change the site URL each time. Perhaps it is possible to set up the MySQL table in the way so that i would be able to have 2 URL’s written down(local IP and domain)?

    So far trying to come up with a workaround based on modified MySQL database configuration hasn’t been successful. And since the “SiteURL” is configured and stored in MySQL i’m wondering about a way of making WordPress ignoring MySQL data on “SiteURL” and let a PHP script set the URLs.

    Started wondering, wouldn’t a php workaround interfiere with automatic updating process? As in wouldn’t it corrupt the setup each time it is updated… any suggestions/tips?

    Found a perfect solution – different website software suite, not going to “advertise” it, but it’s a much better solution.
