I'm starting to think you don't know what you need, and we don't understand what you want. So, drop everything you (think you) know, and start over.
What are you trying to do? Not how you're trying to do it, or why, but WHAT do you want to do? WHAT components are involved? I'm thinking it's along the lines of: - I have a subdomain registered at so-and-so. - I want to use that subdomain to host a site on my local computer. - The computer is behind my home router. - I have a static public IP at home (on my router - or - it is bridged to my computer) - etc, etc...
