if you've got a static IP already, just ask the company you bought the domain from to set the www. subdomain to resolve to your IP address.
it's generally not a good idea to put a web server behind a firewall. if you have a network behind a firewall and a web server on that network, anyone hacking the web server (which HAS to be accessible to anyone on the internet) has got access to your network. if you're going to use a firewall, stick it in between your web server and your network (in this case a single computer) and don't keep any personal data on the web server. that way if someone gets into it, your only problem is to sort out the web server, rather than having to sort out your entire network and worry about what data they might have gotten.
