If that is your only reason for not putting it up on eqemulogin, dont worry bout it.. It would be much easier to configure it for that than lan (though you SHOULD be able to do that). I run a server on the eqemulogin server, but I ONLY have my server up when I am going to play... Just say something in the title reflecting that you are not a full time server... Besides there are so many servers to choose from it isnt a biggy...
Are you behind a router? It sounds like you are... Here's how it works.. If you have your loginserver set to your external ip address everyone who tries to login to THAT IP will find your server (granted their eqhost.txt files reflect that). Technically you COULD have EVERYTHING else running localhost or 127.0.0.1, because you have all of those things running on YOUR computer so it only needs to look to YOUR computer to find them to run. All you need to have configured for the outside world is your loginserver.... Now, if you have that set to your external IP address then it sounds like a NAT issue, and you will have to foward your internal ip address so that the world will see that as your external IP address... If you are having 1017 error, the two most common problems behind this is version conflict and NAT issue...
