completing setup

[mwebb]

what dns addresses should i use so that i can host mikeswebb.com on ispconfig??
can i use an ip address other than 69.154.62.142 ??

followed tutorial "the perfect fc4 setup"
then installed ispconfig.

our dsl business plan with sbc gave us the following ip's
69.154.62.137 thru .142

dsl using cayman 3500:
cayman router using 69.154.62.142
dns 68.94.156.1
dns 68.94.157.1
cayman has internal web server and its port address has been changed from 80 to 8080
cayman has internal ftp server and its port address has been changed from 23 to 2323
this was done so as to not interfer with the new internal web server at 192.168.3.4

pinhole created to allow access thru the cayman firewall (i guess); settings are
tcp
extern port start 80
extern port stop 80
lan address 192.168.3.4 (computer with ispconfig)
internal port 80

believe cayman dsl router setting are complete ?

i have a web site the name is mikeswebb.com
it is set to the following dns
dns31.register.com
dns32.register.com

what should i change this to ???
dns 68.94.156.1
dns 68.94.157.1
or
69.154.62.142 ??
if it is .142 can i use 69.154.62.137 instead ??

The authoritative name servers for mikeswebb.com are dns31.register.com and dns32.register.com. These are the name servers where you have to create/change the DNS records for mikeswebb.com (set the A record to 69.154.62.142).

pinhole created to allow access thru the cayman firewall (i guess); settings are
tcp
extern port start 80
extern port stop 80
lan address 192.168.3.4 (computer with ispconfig)
internal port 80

You have to forward all needed ports from your router to your ISPConfig system (e.g. 80 for http, 81 for ISPConfig, 25 for SMTP, 21 for FTP, 22 for SSH, 53 (TCP and UDP) for DNS, 110 for POP3, 143 for IMAP, 443 for https, ...).

is their a complete list of all the ports that need to be forwarded from the router to the ispconfig computer ??
also it looks to me like i must create a pinhole for each of the ports such as:
tcp
extern port start 80
extern port stop 80
lan address 192.168.3.4 (computer with ispconfig)
internal port 80

ftp
extern port start 21
extern port stop 21
lan address 192.168.3.4 (computer with ispconfig)
internal port 21
i can't say something like this:
tcp
extern port start 10
extern port stop 1000
lan address 192.168.3.4 (computer with ispconfig)
internal port 80
because internally everything would be trying to run on port 80. correct?

The list is already pretty complete.

also it looks to me like i must create a pinhole for each of the ports such as:
tcp
extern port start 80
extern port stop 80
lan address 192.168.3.4 (computer with ispconfig)
internal port 80

ftp
extern port start 21
extern port stop 21
lan address 192.168.3.4 (computer with ispconfig)
internal port 21
i can't say something like this:
tcp
extern port start 10
extern port stop 1000
lan address 192.168.3.4 (computer with ispconfig)
internal port 80
because internally everything would be trying to run on port 80. correct?
If you do the latter, all ports from 10 to 1000 would be forwarded to port 80 which will not work.
