any server that works is a proper server..., it doesnt matter were it is, other than better/slower speed.
all that matters is that any linked server is refered to in the link on the refering html page.
so if he ran his FTP server on his LAN 192.168.0.20 machine then the forum html page can have a link on that external (pro co-location site?) forum that references the cal-VM-websideIP:21 and the person clicking that FTP link will be passed to cals 192.168.0.20:21 FTP server by the 192.168.0.1 router...
thats also why its always better to have faster ISP upload rates to get the speeds up for your users using your LAN servers.
