Remote rendering WCM content using WSRP on IBM WebSphere Portal 7

We are using WebSphere Portal 7 and WCM 7 on seperate servers. We have set up WSRP so that we can render the WCM content on the Portal server. The problem I am having is that the recommended settings for the JSR 286 Web Content Viewer (to switch the dynamic link broadcasting featuire off) breaks the links on the rest of the page. If I switch the feature on, then the other links work but the links in the WCM content fail. All the local links (to other virtual portals, or mapped URLs) are rewritten (by Portal) to pass through the WsrpProxyPortlet, even though it is not necessary to do so.

Is there a way to use remote rendering on Portal 7 and WCM 7, so that one can use WCM and custom portlets on the same page and the links from, and to, either will both still work?

I put a table together of the permutations and the results of trying each, unfortunately it does not format correctly so I pasted it as formatted text.

Hint: Point your browser to the WCM server, at path /wps/wcm/myconnect/WCM-library/content-path/. Get example paths by previewing content items. Remote rendering is just asking that servlet for content, using http client and passing the LTPA cookie. You can also quickly rewrite the links to be parameters to your portlets (or other portlets - on other portal pages) - on the fly.

That's how IBM used to implement the official remote rendering portlet (available still at least on 6.1), and it's quite easy to build yourself if you can't find the actual non-wsrp remote rendering portlet anymore.
