CNAME is used when you want a sub-domain, although www is in effect a CNAME you can point it to a different FQDN if you wish (could be the rDNS of your connection) and get the same effect as an A record.

If though all of the domain is being handled by a single IP then the A record is what to change

OK - so change of configuration...

I've pulled the Watchguard Firewall out of the loop, the Zyxel is now running as the primary device, DHCP server, NAT enabled (SUA Maode).

Port forward www (80) has been pointed to the device running the web server.
DNS A www record pointed to my static public IP of the router.

This should be all that's required - correct?

Edit: I've also added a firewall rule for incoming <any> service www 80 >>> 192.168.x.x (ip addess on the NAS device running web server)

Thanks to Kymmy this is now working - I need to move the device around in study to give it a permanant power socket so it's permanantly live.

Big thanks to Kymmy and others for their assistance and advice.
