I have a similar setup. I use www.dyndns.org. I have dyndns assign my home IP to one of their free hostnames, and in my personal domain zonefile I pointed a CNAME at the one from dyndns. There's client software out there to update you IP to dyndns (I use one called ddclient). It works pretty well. t -- GPG : http://n12turbo.com/tarragon/public.key
