So far I have "solved" this issue like this:

$domain = www.fromdatabase.com

return 
$this->pi_linkTP_keepPIvars($this->pi_getLL('tx_ebbolig_linkTilAfdeling',''), 
array('showUid' => 
$row['uid']),'','',$altPageId="http://".$domain."/index.php?id=".$pageID."&no_cache=1tx_ebbolig_pi1[submit]=submitted&tx_ebbolig_pi1[afdID]=".$this->internal['currentRow']['uid']);

but this is not very TYPO3 or pretty, so if there is another way I would 
like to know.
