All right, how do you make internal site communications completely
oblivious to a change in your externally-visible routing prefix?

You declare that any app that keeps connections around for more than
some time period T (say for 30 days) have a mechanism for
detecting and recovering from prefix changes. That solves the
problem for all apps, not just for local apps.
