Hmmm, and now we move into routing... :) I think the better way to go
here, it to just keep video.bsd.uchicago.edu on your private network,
192.168.1.x/24 and use NAT on the firewall to map only the ports you need
public. This will, of course, mean that your firewall will have to be
"routing" that 128.135.97.x/netmask network.

Okay, this is handled by the router that is delegating that 128.135.97.0/?
network to you. But, we are probably going to need a little bit more
information here.

What do you have that is under your control?  Did the administrator just
hand you the whole 128.135.97.0/24 as a class C, tell you that it was
called bsd.uchicago.edu, point to a drop in the wall and leave you alone?

Cheers,
