Application of insulation to the outside would be tricky at best, since you would need to add a quasi rafter system to support the new sheeting and these stringers would have to be no more than 24 inch on centers to prevent buckling and bowing of the new sheeting. You would then be faced with the treatment of the new fascia you have created. It would take some time to recover your costs in savings. Any future leaks that could cause water entrapment could cause serious mold and rot problems which would possibly destroy the structure.
I've never even heard of this problem, but I would ask several contractors in case one has a different Idea. Sounds expensive. Be sure to weigh your options on whether it's really needed. All the hot air goes up there so be sure to have any ceiling fans blow the right direction.
