I was having the same issue here at where I work at University of
Michigan. We had a server that I personally set up for my work there,
(static IP), but then we got a new net admin for the building that
changed some stuff - making the server ip dynamic which made the dns
record useless. There are ways around this to make it work - but the
admin wasn't willing to cooperate.
well what im trying to get at in this email is i decided to grab a
hostname from no-ip (http://www.no-ip.com) which is a free service that
uses a program you install to keep their dns up to date when your ip
expires or changes. They have mutiple domains you can pick from, or you
can pay them to have your own. (I decided to pick the servebeer.com -
http://lsupport.servebeer.com :-P)

I have recently set up a web server on my college network. It is
behind DNS and DHCP servers that are out of my control. What I would
like to do is be able to associate a name something like
bsdserve.****.edu . However, I'm fairly new at all this, but from
what I've been able to gather, it seems as though the only way to do
this would be to put a record in the campus DNS which isn't possible.
Any insight?
Thanks.
