In a forum like this it *is* appropriate to suggest alternatives that
don't fully answer the question as asked, as it is archived and
available publicly. Not all questions posed, along with their
constraints, have a practical answer, and questions often have
constraints which become irrelevant if an alternative view is taken.
And if not exposed to the Net, a web server doesn't need much
administration. If you want a Net presence, hire it, let someone else
worry about getting hacked.
