Good luck - I know that their policy is that they don't
allow servers, and that they don't "support" linux. I've
never quite understood if that meant linux was impossible
or that they just won't give you linux help. Or if they even
check if you actually have a server running.
What would be really great to figure out is how to get DSL
and Cable working together. DSL for the server, Cable for the
fast surfing speeds, downloads, multimedia. You think that's
possible? (Forgetting about the cost factor for now?)
Let me think... an ethernet interface for each network into
the same computer... specify the Cable network as your gateway
but make your DNS resolve to your DSL ip address...? Yikes,
my brain just tied itself in a knot.
