network admin, ip addresses for webserver

[Niles Rogoff]

My understanding is that on each inbound connection, the router will have
to resolve the hostname to an internal IP address, which takes time and
resources. You probably don't need to worry about it so long as the
hostname and MAC address of the computer never change

Externally, the router should have a static IP if possible.
