Tunneled IP Addresses?

I use ssh tunnels (via putty) to successfully browse my remote web
servers. First I connect via ssh. Then I configure an ssh tunnel by
specifying that all requests to a particular remote host be sent to
'127.0.0.1' - the ssh application then takes over any HTTP requests to
that address and forwards them out the tunnel. I had to add
'remotehost' to my w2k hosts table, identifying it on the line for
127.0.0.1.

Works fine when I browse to the remote host via its hostname.

However, some of the pages on the remote server refer to additional
pages (on the same server), but specify its IP Address rather than
hostname. My PC attempts to load these private addresses directly,
rather than sending them through the tunnel. This fails because the PC
uses its default route to go to that IP rather than via the tunnel,
hence I fail to get these pages loaded.

I was hoping I could simply add a route to the private network via
127.0.0.1. For example:

   route add 10.1.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0 127.0.0.1 metric 1

However W2K complains "The route addition failed: The parameter is
incorrect."

Is there any way to create this type of route?
