As for the @home junk, unfortunately yes you do have to have your primay name
be the c182054-a.wherever.mi.home.com  however the way I did it was just set
that as the primary name (well the name of the server is just: c182054-a) then
the primary name+domain name is the whole deal, however one of it's aliases is
server.whatever.com. Then it talks to the @home assigned DNS servers for it's
configuration. Then you just register server.whatever.com to point to the same
IP address that reverse maps to the c182.......home.com  This should accomplish
your ends by having everyone on the internet know you as "server.whatever.com"
but the ACTUAL name will still be the @home assigned one.

In short the answer to your question is YES, but ....

good luck! any more questions about weird cable modem junk just feel free to
ask!
