Re: [PLUG] hosting at home- handling dns

You'll need a linux no-ip client to update with no-ip. It can be run
on the webserver itself or on any box inside the lan.

Didn't he say DSL?  My DSL changes IP addresses.

I was thinking about getting something like

http://www.no-ip.com/services/managed_dns/free_dynamic_dns.html

.... so I  could have a hostname to give to people when and if I try
to remotely support them using a reverse connection VNC

Does anyone else use that?

I have not figured out yet how I would make my machine report into the
DNS service above.  Is it easy to do?

I had experimented with running a server on my machine here to learn
how to do it.  I had to change firewall settings on my Router, on top
of port mapping to make it work (Filter Internet NAT Redirection).
