Hmmm, If you're too worried about your actual domain name, why not sign up at one of the free Dynamic DNS services? For instance, I use DynDns.Org at home on my FreeBSD box. The have about six domains you can select from. Works perfect for me! My DSL connection gives me a new IP about every 23 hours and by running a small client program, it'll go and update my info automatically. -Gerry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
