Hi, Isaac... thanks for the reply. Oh, ok, I see...Kym was referring to my DSL provider as "my upstream." ...duh... I haven't talked with them about doing that, but I have a business DSL account, so that might be a possibility.
Right now, when I register a domain with godaddy.com, they park the address, then I used their "parked" domain servers for DNS and just have them forward (masked) the registered domain to my server, http://00.00.00.00/cfdocs/xxx/index.cfm .. Is that different from what you're talking about doing with Telocity? It costs me $5.95 for masked domain forwardig with godaddy.com. They have an option for advanced DNS management for my domains at godaddy, but when it comes to zone files, etc., I'm lost. Haven't been able to find enough info to make all that clear, so for now, I just handle it like I've done so far. The only time it has presented a problem is at this point of trying to setup multiple companies to work off the same set of pages... which requires that some type of unique info come with the initial request for the homepage of the domain, so I can pick out that info and assign the right companyID and setup the app. I guess the $5.95 per year per domain is what Kym was referring to? My local DSL company would probably not have an Internet GUI through which I could easily manage DNS info, etc... Thanks for your help. Rick -----Original Message----- From: S.

I think Kym was suggesting possibly your DSL provider can offer DNS service. I think Telocity ( www.DirecTVDSL.com ) used to have that service -- they supported running web-servers from their DSL -- though they're out of business or soon to be now. They were my provider for the past year or so until they tanked and I had to find another provider. > Hi, Kym, and thanks for the reply. > I will check out the server scope and see what I can do > with that. > Haven't used that one, but perhaps this is a good time to > learn about it! > I'm serving with Win 2000 Server through DSL with an > upstream of about 1.1 > Mbps. > I don't serve high traffic sites, just several small, > low-traffic sites. > I typically register my domains with some vender, usually > godaddy.com and > park the domain there and use their servers for DNS, then > forward the > domains > to my server (masked).
