not a network type person (yet) but yes you would need to edit the DNS
record for your domain to point to your ip address. As far as pointing
to a particular computer i think the simplest thing to do is to make
sure that that computer is locked down correctly and then set that
computer up as a DMZ node in your router. The biggest issue is this
would of course mean that that computer is ON THE PUBLIC SIDE OF YOUR
ROUTERS FIREWALL.
