It's always possible to forward to a non-existent host, but some people
actually run web servers behind their Linksys firewalls, so they'll
likely have port 80 forwarded to the real webserver.  My point is that
port 80 should not stop at the Linksys - it must be forwarded off the
box to somewhere.  It doesn't matter where.
