I can't really recommend that. Moodle and other services should only be in
the internal network. Publishing it in the external network creates security
issues.

If you still want to do it, the best way is to ensure that the "external"
users (external from the PoV of the XS) see the exact same DNS name for the
server. Once you do that, images, forms and links will work.
