I recently tried out the dynamic DNS resolution service www.dhis.org is
offering. It appears to be working quite well. I sent them the below
letter and received the corresponding response, but I don't have a clue
what Peder is trying to say.
Anyone like to take a shot and explain it to me?
Thanks,
Glen

Well, you should bungle with the DNS database for christianfamilies.org
www.christianfamilies.org. IN CNAME holiness.dhis.org.
Remark the trailing dots (.) after the FQDN.
The trailing dot tells the name server that the name is a FQDN, and
it don't have to add e.g. a 2. and 1. levle domain name.
This mean if anyone do a lookup of www.christianfamilies.org it will point
to holiness.dhis.org and holiness.dhis.org will point to either the
OFFLINE IP number or you current ONLINE IP number.
So if anyone would like to browse http://www.christianfamilies.org/
the request will end up @ your holiness.dhis.org box if you are online :-)
Hope this info will help you.
