If it is just a hobby server, is it a problem to include the port in the 
URL?

    http://www.example.com:81/path/to/index.html

If www.example.com is a CNAME, the port number will still be used on the 
final domain name. I believe relative references on the server will stick 
to the port number also, but haven't actually tried that.
