Perhaps you are confusing URL forwarding/redirect with port forwarding, but they are completely different. Domains on dynamic ip address REQUIRE some method of intervention to update the DNS record when it changes eg dns/ipcheck. The only way a registrar could avoid doing such thing would be if they controlled address assignment and since registrar and ISP are rarely if ever the same organization you are forced to use the Internet in Matthew's reality. As far as URL forwarding goes, there are several different methods to accomplish it. The safest way is to simply host the vhost and http 301 it to the correct place. Other methods are hackish and may not be able to be tracked if so desired as well as other limitations. -- Adam Vande More
