[geeks] News server access

[Ken Hansen]

You turn *off* port forwarding, and it is secure.

You turn *on* port forwarding, and you takes your chances.

You can also set up a DMZ machine, if you prefer - any unsolicited request
will either get portmapped, directed to the DMZ host, or dropped, depending
on settings.
