Date: Sat, 6 Jul 1996 22:03:11 -0400 Encoding: 25 TEXT Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greetings, I would like to know if the following is possible. My setup: * I have a dial up PPP connection to a provider who assigns a dynamic IP address each time I connect. * I have a valid domain name registered with Internic (say, bar.org), but it is not mapped to any static IP address. * My machine is foo.bar.org What I would like to do: Dial up and get connected to my provider. When someone looks up http://www.bar.org, they connect to my machine which is running the apache web server and has the designation of www.bar.org (for the duration of my connection to my provider). I guess what I am asking is is there a way to map a domain to a dynamic IP address? Anil
