Now I want to know that if (theoretically or if someone out there is currently doing this) I add a CNAME record pointing to this name, will it work, also I am wondering if it will work with a MX recrod as well. Currently at home because of money constraints I cannot get a static IP (the only way I could would be to get wireless and its still spotty and a bit pricey in my area) so this would be my only option to running a web or mail server at home. -- Jason To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
