How much of an exposure would it be to run ssh
or a web server *occasionally* from that box to
the outside world? Would there be some devious
way to do this? Maybe a port-knocking app that
would allow the service to open only after a
specific "code" has been received?

The actual server would only run when I "knocked",
so it would not be responding to routine
probing. Is this hopelessly naive?
