Well, I have to assume Comcast will fix this eventually, so I'm not interested at the moment in solving that problem, only getting a workaround.

It's ONLY a problem for those particular IP addresses.

What I'm interested in now is applying that "hairpin" scheme I'm using for ssh/sftp/CLI to solve the issue for web browser access.

I have the resources and the external server -- how do I use them?

Well, again -- this is just a workaround. It occurs to us that regardless of whether this problem is fixed or not, we should have a workaround like this in case something similar happens in the future.

Essentially what we're looking for is a sort of "man in the middle" arrangement, so as to minimize the user's requirement to be aware of it.

We'd like to install something on our proxy that simply forwards the http traffic packets that should go from A to C and can't, and just sends A to B to C and then C to B to A. I suppose there's some technical name for that, but that's the pretty simple idea.

Is there a software app that does that? Is that just the definition of a "proxy"?
