If you create a discussion forum that is also the home page for your site and you want to update the site portion, how does this affect the posts that are currently on the remote server. It just seems that the local and remote servers would always be in
conflict with regard to the posts. Anything special I should do when I publish the update?

You will need to edit the site directly on the remote server. Generally the discussion web should be
implemented as a subweb separate from your rest of your site content.

Thanks for your help. Would it work if I publish from the remote server to my local web, edit the home page, and then publish back to the server only the changed pages? I really don't like working live on my sites.

Generally No
Since the DW posts are dynamic and generally will not publish both ways, or may affect new post

Use of a subweb for the DW (if your host supports them) is the only way to leave your DW untouched when you publish to your root
