Port-forwarding is not necessary, with dynip turned on from
the server side cipe config you can just aswell masquerade
the ports as usual. Other (but not as flexible and redundantly
complex) solution is to do port forwarding without the dynip
and the set the peer to match the port forwarded machine, but
I certainly don't recommend this, because it's far more easier
with dynip turned on. After that it doesn't matter
where your machines connect to the server.

Well, with dynip turne on it doesn't matter what you have there.
0.0.0.0 will do just fine, too.

you should set
dynip 1
in you server1 config and set the server2 to
ping 60
(or whatever suits you.

Yes, but you musn't forget the dynip setting from the
public static server.
