Re: port mapping and cl-http question

The loopback address should be 127.0.0.1 on your machine,

You can typically access this as localhost while disconnected.

When connected, your incoming request are mapped by the virtual host  
stuff to the loopback host and port.

Since your virtual host will be the dynamic DNS name, this will work  
without reconfiguring as you move from place to place and IP address  
to IP address.
