This is awesome!

I had this exact problem about a month ago. I too bought an Airport and a roaming wireless iBook laptop. My webserver was visible from the outside but the Airport would not forward port requests when they came from inside the house. I can't wait to get this setup. I had posted a question on comp.sys.mac.comm asking if my only solution was to research setting up a local DNS. It sounds like this should get things ironed out. The Movable Type weblog system (which works great with OS X's built in Apache and perl) uses cgi scripts for site management and they require an absolute URL to be prepended. You cannot simply use relative paths as you can for the static content that the cgi generates. If relative paths were sufficient I could have just used 10.0.1.xx. Thanks for the detailed solution. -- Scott BilikFamily.com

As does Scott Turner's MP3 server script (Andromeda) if you want to stream MP3 from your server both inside and outside the router/firewall.
