Correct. I do not believe that you can have to valid certificates at the same time.
I think the only way to cure this problem is to use a FQDN and then generate the certificate. There are many dynamic DNS services that you allow you to create a FQDN such as mld.dyndns.com to get your external users connected to your external IP (a.b.c.d). However, internally you may face problems with routing or name resolution. You can cure this by creating an entry in you hosts file that points mld.dyndns.com to 192.168.0.10.
In Windows, edit the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file and add your dynamic DNS name:
192.168.0.10 mld.dyndns.com
Do this for each of the machines on your internal LAN. Of course, mld.dyndns.com is just an example --- feel free to register whatever name works for you and with whatever DynDNS service is supported by your router. Change the entries accordingly in the hosts file.
