Sorry - never used pastebin before. It's at pastebin.ubuntu.com/454999

Basically, he is going to write the web interface for a remotely 
controlled device, so he needs to be able to access the device's Apache 
server to see what he is doing. He won't need ssh - he will just email 
me the HTTP and CGI files, and I will build them into the flash 
filesystem on the device. He's just going to be testing the interface.

If I redirect port 8080 to the device's port 80, anyone accessing the 
device has to specify port 8080 in their web browser, correct?
