How do I configure the WRT so if I connect to a webserver hosted in my LAN using my internet address (the port is open), so that it will connect?

By constantly rerunning the firewall.

So, if I write a script that reruns the firewall every time the ip changes, would that work?
How would i handle that event... by putting it in /etc/hotplug.d/iface?
