[ale] Server-hosting-ready home broadband

[scott]

I have comcast business class.  I have only a single IP (I didnt need  
the other 4).  and from time to time I have hosted more than one  
website on the cable modem.  It isnt like hosting at a hosting  
provider (DreamHost costs me 7$/month and has a lot more bandwidth  
that I can use and much lower ping times).  Normally I only host  
friends sites that they are developing and want to do it "off the  
commercial grid"
