Piece of cake for a router thats been reflashed with dd-wrt or similar.

That translation can be restricted to a single "port" address, which is 
why you can see my web page, on this machine, at an odd port address if 
you click on the link in the sig.

This is of course dependent on having a fixed ip, and mine is somehow 
derived from the mac address of my router, so if I should have to change 
routers, that would change until such time as I clone this mac address 
into the other router, at which point the routers reboot gives me back 
the old address and my registered domain name once again works, if the 
other router also does this port forwarding.
