You are incorrect in that thinking. TZO.com does my dynamic ip address forwarding and I have the exact setup you just told me about. I have a web server running on one of my machines behind my NAT and I have the router configured to send all port 80 traffic to that one machine. TZO's software figures out the routable IP that your router uses for WAN traffic and forwards your domain traffic to that IP, which of course points to your router.

However this is the most responsive / helpful list I'm on so here it goes. I have a domain name for myself that my company hosts the DNS for. I am looking for a dynamic DNS solution that will allow me to actually host the site on my cable access where my IP address may change etc. Here is the kicker, I have a router / firewall attached to my cable modem that also has a built in switch. That way I can have like 4 machines using my cable connection. The IP addresses for each machine as such are NATed and thus I have the firewall set to forward all port 80 request (http) to my machines NATed address, this works fine except that as far as I can tell all of the Dynamic DNS services out there set the IP address to send your domain requests to are of the MACHINE running their software, whereas the IP address on my network would actually belong to my cable modem. Anyone have any ideas?
