1.  Is your server updating DynDNS with your new IP address 
successfully?

2.  Take a look at DynDNS's MyWebHop service.  This service forwards 
port 80 to whatever port you choose.  That way, the redirection is 
transparent to people accessing your site.

3.  The only change in Apache configuration needed (relating to the port 
blocking issue) is to change the port the Apache listens on.  This is 
done in the httpd.conf file.  If you're not familiar with this file, 
you can get lots of good information at:

http://httpd.apache.org/

Best of luck,

Andrew Gould
