If I remember correctly, the relative links should work, but the 
redirects would be giving you problems.  In your trac.ini, if you set 
the base_url parameter to the external url and then enable the 
use_base_url_for_redirect setting it should handle this correctly (see 
http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracIni).   I believe this is also needed 
for the RSS feeds to work properly behind a proxy.
