Exactly. This is just for my amusement. I am new to Unix/FreeBSD and to Web Servers and I figured that setting something like this up would be a good way for me to learn about both. My provider drops connections after a 3 hour time frame so I would not know what dynamic IP address to point to, from the outside, if I exceed that time frame. > So, what are you planning on publishing on your pages? > Nothing that is of earth shattering import :).
