In the case you describe where you want to access dev.roundcube.net, you
can just make an A record for the subdomain dev (using samba-tool) and
that subdomain will be directed outside the network.

In the event the page you want to access is roundcube.net and it is not
on you LAN, then you have no choice but to let your workstation be
directed to the DC.  You can get around that by installing apache on the
DC, and use mod_rewrite to redirect all requests for roundcube.net to
www.roundcube.net.  This will require you to configure your external
roundcube.net site with a ServerAlias www.roundcube.net, and will also
require you to configure your internal DNS with an A record for www
pointing to your external webserver.

Hope that helps...
