If your ISP provides 'A' record for your Dynamic IP I.E.
myhost.DSLDynamic.ISP.net 5.4.3.2
AND if you have registered a 'REAL' Domain like mydomain.com with a service
who allows you to add DNS records for your Domain (i use register.com) then
just add a 'CNAME' (canonical name = link) records like
www.mydomain.com myhost.DSLDynamic.ISP.net
ftp.mydomain.com myhost.DSLDynamic.ISP.net
server.mydomain.com myhost.DSLDynamic.ISP.net
then all these records will point to the machine 5.4.3.2, and when your ISP
DHCP address changes it updates the myhost > IPADDR record and automatically
and all your cname (links) will point to the new IPADDR.
Best Regards,
Jim
