You should config the router so that only you home ip-address is forwarded
towards your web-server. If you can close youre web-server for all other
ip-addressen too. Your'e asking for a lot of trouble if you don't, don't
think no one will find the server, they do.
I suppose its less work to set up a dmz that to reinstall your server(s).
If control over your server is gained, the control over your network is
there too.

> I've set up a dynamic dns for doing some light webserving from home.  I
know that putting a machine in a dmz is the best option security-wise,
but how much trouble am I asking for by port forwarding to the websever
within my network.  I'm not using port 80 for this.  And the only port
allowed get thru the router is the alternate port I have set for
webserver.
