That's nothing to do with a proxy, regardless whether its written in Java 
or not.

Look up 'port forwarding' in your router's manual: that will let you 
direct port 80 to a specific host on your LAN. 

Be very careful: you'll be giving everybody direct access to that 
machine, so it MUST be locked up tight with a good firewall. You'll need 
to be running the Apache webserver (or some equivalent) on that port on 
the host and it must be carefully configured to restrict what hackers and 
script kiddies can do to your stuff. Apache has a lot of abilities to 
handle logins etc and control who can see particular pages but, as you 
don't see aware of either port forwarding or Apache, you have a steep 
learning curve ahead.

Best advice is 'don't do it'. Hiring small amounts of web space from a 
web hosting provider is cheap, so put your pages on a web provider and 
let them worry about security.

Right: this subject is entirely off topic for c.l.j.p so I suggest you 
move this discussion elsewhere.
