NAT and like networks

I have a problem and hopefully someone will have a solution. I have a pf firewall with multiple NICs. Inside interface em0 has an IP address of 10.1.1.1/24 and outside interface dc3 has an IP address of 10.1.2.1/24. Problem is that the outside site has a network with the same scheme as one of the
