DNS problem with reports (server URL)

I'm developing a SSRS site using SQL Server 2000 and Visual Studio 2003.
The target device is a Nokia 770 Internet tablet over a wireless network
using VPN for authentication (corporate requirement).
The 770 currently has a problem resolving server names to a fully-qualified
URL. It's been identified as a DNS-oriented bug that may take time to be
fixed. In order to enable the 770 tablet to navigate to my site, instead of
using http://myserver/Reports I have to instruct users to enter
http://myserver.country.company.com/Reports. This in and of itself is not a
problem. The trouble starts when the user clicks a report or chart; the url
generated contains a reference to http://myserver/Reportserver.
Unfortunately the tablet can't resolve this.
What I am looking for is a way to override whatever setting is limiting the
Reportserver URL and replace it with a fully qualified URL.
Anyone have any ideas? I've looked into it some but haven't figured out
what I can do.
Thanks,
Randall Arnold
NokiaRandall,
If you're able, I think the simplest solution would be to create a little
one page aspx program in which you can display your reports. Then you can
pass the full domain name to the reports server as part of the program.
