Alright, this is what I want to do... I have a cable connection that uses DHCP, giving me a lease for about 2 minutes. Usually the address stays the same, but at times it does change. I want to host two domain names to start. I also would like to have the possiblity to host more. I will have only one changing IP. I also want to have subdomains. I want each system at home to have a subdomain based on either one of the two domain's I'll have established. So if I have blah.com as my primary domain, I want to be able to ssh to yadda.blah.com from any other location. If I want to ssh to yawn.blah.com from any other location, it should be able to connect to that system, eventhough they are both sharing 1 ip address through Natting. I've been told I can use these free third party domain name servers. I've also been told that you need to keep a record with at least 2 domain name servers when hosting a domain name. While, I can do this, I'd like to host at least one DNS at home. Now, I'm completely confused if this can be done and if it can, then how to do it. The FreeBSD handbook seems pretty straight-forward in setting up BIND. However, I don't know how to distinguish more than one domain name when using only one IP address. Also, is it possible for the home DNS and the third party DNS's to work in tandem? Does any of this make sense? __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
