[-- Attachment #1 --] you can create a dynamic hostname with dyndns.org and update it with ddclient, and create a CNAME entry for your machine and alias it to the dyndns hostname at your DNS. (i have home.andrewng.com to point to my machine behind a cable modem with a dynamic IP address) you can just set the DNS to that dynamic hostname at the registrar. you need one more DNS though, dyndns has a DNS hosting service, but I'm not sure if that is free... this takes care of the having your own domains part... to resolve to different machine, I think you can look into NAT and BIND, I have not done that myself, but I'll probably be look into doing that soon. right now I'm simply running sshd at a different port and have my firewall forward it to the other machine... :) /ayn On 0, Bsd Neophyte <bsdneophyte@yahoo.com> wrote: > > Alright, this is what I want to do... > > I have a cable connection that uses DHCP, giving me a lease for about 2 > minutes.
