Regarding ZenCart 1.39h

I've done multiple stores before, but this problem has me stumped.

I have domestic and internationals zones.
No problem.

The shipping rates for FedEx and USPS appear in the shipping estimator fine.
No problem.

The FREE SHIPPING (freeshipper) Module is on for DOMESTIC zones only.
No problem.

But, when I set one product to "YES, ALWAYS FREE SHIPPING", the shipping estimator won't return shipping rates for international. I'm assuming that's because the "ALWAYS FREE SHIPPING" is setting a 'zero' weight for everyone. If that's true, what's a work around?

ULTIMATELY:
How can I set select specific products to have free domestic freight only and get the shipping estimator to return freight costs for international? Keep in mind, other items might be added to the cart that don't qualify for free freight.


Thanks in advance!
