There is no single way which can do it for both of those environments.

Moving traffic around is a feature of the network routing system. The 
answer to that depends on which OS you have within yoru network and what 
they can do.

That is also why there is no single solution to (1). You have little or 
no control over router settings beyond your own network - so a very 
different setup is needed for non-LAN traffic.
