I'm not sure I understand appropriately but..
I assume your router does Network Address Translation (NAT). So, the
address at the external end of the router will be forwarded (and
translated) to your machine behind onto the address given by the router.
When you open a connection to the address of your router it will end in
your machine whatever IP address it has got.
Furthermore, You can make any program (and Xitami also) to listen on all
of your interfaces online (ethernet, local:127.0.0.1, ...) pointing it to
0.0.0.0
Hope this helps
