I want to host a website from home, namely, www.freebsddiary.com, not to mention a mail server, ftp server, etc. The dyn.ml.org approach, whilst very good, won't work for me. However, the DNS Wizard (http://www.dnswiz.com/index.htm) looks like it might have what I need. But it's not cheap. But fair enough for the service they provide. -- Dan Langille DVL Software Limited The FreeBSD Diary - my [mis]adventures http://www.FreeBSDDiary.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
