This introduces all sorts of aberrant behavior. Most notably that clients will get different responses depending on their query and route that you now have to test for. It also is a “silent” deviation for audiences that may not be aware of.

I’m not sure what problem that is trying to be solved here? That the OP wanted internal users seeing a different site than external users? Or using a different route in? In both those cases the correct user behavior is to use a different DNS record.
