dyndns.org works just fine with static addresses (slightly better, actually, in that my address doesn't "expire" from their database -- if I had a dynamic address that simply never changed, I'd still have to upload the fact it hasn't changed every few days) If what you're balking about is having something like "homelinux" in the middle of my "domain", well, I'm just being "cheap" [unemployment does that to you ;) ] when I'm again "flush with cash", I'll probably donate some money their way. (note also that for a small fee, much smaller than what pacbell wants, they will do a full on "yourname.tld" style domain -- should I ever feel the need...)
alot of these services also support the inlcusive namespace. don't know about dyndns.org - but it is the case with no-ip.org - which is basically the same service. they also offer dynamic dns for free. and if you want all you have to do is visit www.zoneedit.com which provides free dns for domain.tld - including some in the inclusive namespace like the .god tld we manage. what you do to use your own domain free is setup dns at a service like zoneedit for free - then cname your web server www.domain.tld to your dynamic.domain.tld host name. cheers joe Joe Baptista - only at www.baptista.god "Be assured.
