Um, this does not make a lot of sense. For starters, routers DO forward
internal IP addresses. INTERNET routers do not, but if no routers did
that at all, private internets would be kinda hard to build.

Perhaps your company has a policy where the routers do not forward
internal IP's. In that case you may want to look into using a firewall
that can be configured to work as a bridge rather than as a router.
