When I setup a new SB, it asks for the IP address of the SqueezeCenter
or SlimServer.
I wanna put my SC on a server that has a dynamic IP address, and uses a
dyn-dns service.
How can I use an FQDN rather than an quad dotted IP ?

Not sure how those work but don't you have a regular IP for you home
network? Isn't that for the outgoing www? I've got to read up on that.

Yes, my SB3 is presently at home.
When not streaming music (from server also at home), I like to turn off
my server. Its quieter that way, and I can sleep better.
But I also like use the Weather Plugin on SB3 (dimmed), even when home
server is off.
Or listen to a radio stream, or use the SB3 alar
Good question. I think it would have a better chance on a regular IP
though. Softsqueeze can do that I believe so maybe the SB can. It's
just never came up before at least that I've read.

Which is why I'd like to be able to configure the SB to point it to a
SC server using a FQDN, rather than a quad.dotted.ip.address.

I have already submited this in bugzilla
http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6879
I have a couple of SBs connecting remotley. In Switzerland the
Cable-Internet public IPs don't change if you never unplug your modem..

Great idea.
We too use our local SB and remote SC tucked up inside IpCop firewalled
networks. Somethings similar to your m0n0wall setup.

Somehow I get the feeling that this feature will never make it in to a
release. Not many people use SBs externaly.
It's a bit of a shame as a server can host many SBs and this way each
haoushold doesn't need to run their own Squeezecenter..

You can do that now, you just need a ststic IP (and a good lawyer!).

:) That is why we are asking for a FQDN, so there is no need for a
static IP.

that what I am doing right now. There are about 20 SB's connecting to
my server right now. I even have a friend with a SB2 in New York
connecting to my server.

The more I think about the SB fixation with quad.dotted.ip.addresses,
the more it surprises me.
Lotsa home setups use a dhcp server in their modem/router, and every
host on the home lan gets a dynamic ip allocated by that dhcp server.
So why can't an SB find the SS or SC by hostname (which is usua

Agreed of course, which overcomes the SS/SC dynamic ip address in many
home situations.

Can SqueezeNetwork work the Alarms thingy too ?

I've tried the alternatives, and decided that a connection from SB (at
home) to a remote SS/SC (at work) is my preferred option.
Since a VPN connection (OpenVPN, or Ipsec) can easily overcome the
vagaries of dynamic ip addresses at both ends, it gives a good as
"permanent" connection from SB to SS
