The ISP that I connect to dynamically assigns my system an IP address and a FQDN. There are two things I would like done. I don't know if they are possible with the way things currently are. First I would like to run a nameserver on my system. The second I would like is for people to be able to access my system by a FQDN instead of an IP address. I have called my system the following: atlantic.srivastava.com If they can't access my system by the above name, is it possible for my system to take the name the ISP assigns me while I'm connected to the internet? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Sandip To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
