Way off track.

Well, no, it doesn't point to port 80; DNS isn't about ports.
Port 80 is assumed by every web browser ever made; but they can
be told to use another port with a URL like domain.com:8080

Therefore your webcam "should" now be working at
http://www.ackerman-family.com:8080

However I get no response. You may have the webcam turned-off at
the moment I tried, or you may be mucking around with overly
complex redirections. And you MUST open port 8080 in your router
or this is never going to work. 

Granted, telling your kin to use :port notation is going to
baffle everybody over age 16. You need a plain URL. 

Is there a reason you want a unique machine name for your webcam?
Or would it be good enough to have a URL like
http://www.ackerman-family.com/webcam ? Webcams are often
embedded in static pages where you can show static info related
to the webcam. 

On that page, have an "image" link like IMG
SRC="http://www.ackerman-family.com:8080" -- however, I'm not
sure that format will work, and can't test it since I can't get
any response from port 8080 at your URL.
