  You need to set up apache to listen on a different port. 8080 is a common choice for servers that do not have access to port 80.
  
  Use the "Listen" directive in the httpd.conf file to cause the server to use a different IP address.
  
  Listen 8080
  
  Also, you'll want to investigate having your DynDNS provider redirect traffic on "www.mysite.com" to "www.mysite.com:8080". I know this is possible with Zoneedit (www.zoneedit.com). Not sure about other providers.

  Another thing to note, at least here in the Northeast Verizon DSL uses a wonderful tool we all know and love called PPoE. If you are using PPoE with Verizon there is a slim chance your site will ever go public. This is the primary reason I ditched DSL and went back to cable. Hard to beat the routable and accessible IP. :-]
