Greetings,

I would like to know if the following is possible.

My setup:

*	I have a dial up PPP connection to a provider who assigns a dynamic IP 
address 	each time I connect.
*	I have a valid domain name registered with Internic (say, bar.org), but 
it is 	not mapped to any static IP address.
*	My machine is foo.bar.org

What I would like to do:

Dial up and get connected to my provider.  When someone looks up 
http://www.bar.org, they connect to my machine which is running the apache 
web server and has the designation of www.bar.org (for the duration of my 
connection to my provider).

I guess what I am asking is is there a way to map a domain to a dynamic IP 
address?

Anil
