At home, I use dnsmasq as my DHCP server. This is a very nice DNS proxy 
and DHCP server package that allows you to fix the IP addresses at the 
server, but still configure the clients to use DHCP. In this case, port 
forwarding will not blow up because their IP's are essentially fixed 
(but fixed by the DHCP server and not by the individual clients).

I think this package would be a useful addition to your single point of 
access machine.
