My traceroute from another RR-connected system also starts dropping similarly:

13  sl-ltdsprflaans-39-0-0.sprintlink.net (144.232.211.218)  50.507 ms 
38.019 ms  52.242 ms
14  host4.utelfla.com (205.244.126.4)  38.890 ms  43.814 ms  41.731 ms
15  host210.sprintnetops.net (206.107.113.210)  46.926 ms  48.356 ms  52.691 ms

RR doesn't block inbound http or https usually.  I've had a small website 
running on my RR-connected system for years.  Don't do anything that the RR 
security scans don't like, though, or you'll find yourself locked down.

Joel, this may sound like a dumb question, but are you sure that IP address 
is correct?  Traceroute seems to indicate it is a Sprintlink and not RR IP. 
  Also there is no PTR record in the DNS for 208.11.191.109.  I'm wondering 
if you typo'd the address at DynDNS.org, perhaps.
