possible to set up a web server in this case?
When you say LAN, one assumes it's a private range IP and hence the
answer is no.
not true. Your external DNS server will resolve to a different ip address
than an internal dns server. The external DNS server resolves to a public
ip address which terminates on your router, which in turn forwards to your
internal web server, which is on your LAN.
A better direction is to research how to set up a DMZ on your router and
put your web server in the DMZ
