Actually, it only has to be run every time the computer is
restarted, not every time Frontier is restarted.

If you run it more than once between reboots, go to the terminal
window and run this:

sudo ipfw show

You'll see that there's an entry there for every time you added 80
-> 8080. When you restart, that list is cleared out.

You can have a shell script or even an applescript run  at startup
to add your port forwaring just once, and then you don't have to do
it from Frontier.
