I'm using cipe to tunnel back to the network in perth, and I have 
tinyproxy setup on a machine there to allow me to get the sites I need 
to get.

I might have a crack at writing some form of front end proxy that loads 
a url via the local network, and if it see's a redirect come back to the 
eimrates.net.ae blocked page, sends it over the vpn to the remote proxy.

Sounds like a good nighttime project. Theres stuff all else to do up 
here :p)

Perhaps some form of squid plugin might do the job. Investigation required.

For those that want to know what it looks like..
http://proxy.emirates.net.ae

<sigh>
