I had already gone to dyndns.com and have a name associated with it that way, I was just wondering if there was a way to make some sort of end-run on the campus dns and get it listed as a subdomain without adding a record in the campus dns. But it doesn't look like there is=20 Thanks though, -Ben Racine On 9/24/05, nawcom wrote: > I was having the same issue here at where I work at University of > Michigan.
