All, I'd like to be able to do exactly this too, because my firewall runs on a shitbox that hasn't enough memory or hard disk to run a Freenet node. I don't want put my big box directly on the Internet for semi-obvious reasons that would be too long and boring to explain here.
I can't see how (if you're using port forwards) the Freenet node can definitively know what IP address and port it should advertise itself as unless you tell it. Surely the same problem exists if you've got a dynamic IP address - you'll want to advertise yourself as a name, not an IP address. ?
