Jeremiah,

One other thing, @home does not block well-known ports.  I have my web server 
(for site development for clients), cvs, and open sshd running - all on 
default ports.  I used to have ftp running on 21, but I turned it off in 
favor of sshd.

Since my services have next to zero traffic, they don't really care.  If I 
tried to publish my web server and it generated a lot of traffic (like 100s 
of MB per day), I am sure that @home would notice the bandwidth usage and 
then invoke the 'fair use' policy in my agreement to get me to unpublish the 
site.
