iptables needs to be on a box that's not on the Cox network.  DNS would
point to this remote box.  Then the remote box would redirect port 80
traffic to port 81 (or whatever else isn't blocked) on the Cox box.  I
did this before temporarily, but I was able to use a Linux box at work to
do the forwarding.  Bryce probably doesn't have this luxury.  However, the
best solution is probably what Hans suggested.  Just upgrade to a Cox
Business account.

Can EasyDNS redirect to a port other than 80?
