Another option is to set up a reverse proxy (e.g. apache). This can
map incoming requests to your router address to individual hosts,
without the need for messy port numbering. e.g. my.router.com/tivo
can map to internal host 192.168.0.2:80, my.router.com/axis can map
to internal host 192.168.0.3:80 and so on.

This is also nice in so much as it adds an additional layer of
security; you can arrange for independent authentication of each URL
if you so wish at the proxy layer.
