I just got dsl and I'd like to host my own website eventually. I understand the basics of how this is done, but I'm confused as to how one would do it without a static ip address, as well as with an airport base station with NAT. How does one get traffic to the server without a static ip address, and then how do you set up port forwarding on the ABS so that incoming traffic with be directed to the server where the content resides?
my set up is;
cube 450mhz/80gig/640mb 10.3.4
graphite ABS
verizon dsl/westell 2200 3mbps/384kbps
thanks!

Terse answer:

Dynamic DNS Service (Free)

To reach the privately addressed server through your router (with the now DynDNS setup), you wil have to use PAT port forwarding. I have no ABS, but it can do port forwarding to the internal server you wish to serve http traffic. There is probably a doc or how-to on port forwarding somewhere at Apple.
