Sounds to me like what you want is Bridged networking rather than NAT. Then the VM will then have an address on the same network as the host, and will be accessible just like a real machine on the network. The VM's IP address and the one the host sees will be the same. No port forwarding is required. If using DHCP on the LAN, the VM can get an IP address assigned, and the DNS on the DHCP server should enable access via a hostname as well as IP address. Everything should "just work" the same as with two real machines on the same LAN.
