Ok, on you DNS "web forward", redirection, forward to your ip (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080)
Resolve names to
http://mywebsite.xxx:70 Your DNS server may resist this part but that is ok, as long as the ip directs to 8080 all is good!

I can not connect. I get a time out error also. I did however trace your IP to 63.208.196.110:
This tells me that the ports are not correct. SO, set you DynDNS up to web forward to port 8080 at your IP. Set "your" router to accept port 8080 and redirect (Port Forward) to your server on port 80 as I am assuming you went with defalt Apache install. If not, fine what ever port Apache is Listening on is where you want the router to forward traffic to. This should solve the problem rather quickly.

BIND should not have to be used, this is a router issue, unless the router you are using is a computer, just adjust router configurations.
