With the right setup you should be able to have it both ways.. everyone
thinking all services are on the same port... users arrive on the remote IP
on the usual port, and local network arrive on the local IP at the assigned
port.

I'm with you there, the more normalised everything is, the more likely the
vaguely technical are to use it as well as the long termers who are on the
