Except he will likely be breaking his service agreement which most likely prohibits two things: 1) The running of externally visible servers on any port. 2) Placing an IP address owned by the ISP in any publically available DNS server. If one or both of the above is true then the original poster should be careful as he may find that his ISP discovers he's doing this and then terminate his account. No more cable modem/DSL service at home which is like sucking my blood out. All that to get beyond a $4/month hosting charge somewhere? (www.GoDaddy.com was on the Super Bowl) It may be penny wise / pound foolish. With best regards, Mark -- [email protected] mailing list
