I seem to remember reading that something in IPv6 could help with this. I thought I would ask here to see if per-to-peer http could be a possibility these days. I am familiar with hole-punching, but I gather that this is a UDP thing, not TCP.

Yes, you can serve HTTP from LAN behind router via IPv6, without doing port forwarding on the router. Usually you'll do that by installing IPv6 tunnel like he.net or SixXS one.

Note, however, that you'll have to run your web server on IPv6, and only IPv6-enabled web clients will be able to connect to it. That is protocol limitation, IPv4 devices cannot talk to IPv6 devices, and vice versa.
