Either pay them for their custom domain support, or have your domain expose a CNAME that points to their dynamic name. > can I map a dyndns host to a CNAME as a hostname on mydomain.tld ? CNAME is like a symbolic link, and it works the other way around: you point to the dyndns host from the CNAME on your own domain. > so, I have a machine at home with not-fixed ip, on dyndns, as > 'myhomepc.dyndns.com' > > if I set a bind record as: > > myhomepc CNAME myhomepc.dyndns.com. > > to have myhomepc.mydomain.tld > > that works, BUT, will that work once ip changes, will that propagate to my > CNAME...? So, again, symlink: the way that a name is resolved is that when you hit a CNAME you read the target of it, and then go ahead and start the process from scratch with the new one. So, the "end user" system pretends that they typed in myhomepc.dnydns.com. instead of myhomepc.your.domain. and all. Make sense? Any IP changes matter only for the target name, and the CNAME is more or less unrelated.

Re: [SLUG] ubuntu 10.4 to 10.10 upgrade nvidia GeForce 8600GT
Hi, I have the 8800GT, and have had no problems with 10.04, 10.10 and 11.04 Ubuntu. I even have a multiseat working with it under 10.01 and 11.04. Not sure of the differences. cheers Jon On Tuesday 09 August 2011 11:16:57 David wrote: > I need to upgrade to 10.10 to get the latest version of a particular > software. > > 10.10 release notes talk about problems with GeForce 8600GT drivers (and > several other nVidia drivers). > > Has anybody done this successfully?
