This isn't a smart thing to do, but I want to know if I can do it. I have a server that has a public IP address, but it is not static. Im trying to think of a way to update the /etc/hosts file when this Ip changes. It does change often, but it does change from time to time, since this machine is IP is technically labeled as a workstation. I realize that when it changes I will need to reset certain services.......
Does anyone have any ideas? I can write the ip address to a file, but can I get /etc/hosts to read from that file? I think that is a way to do it, but I'm not sure. Do I need to install bind? I need to man hosts more..... chris... -- "As we open our newspapers or watch our television screens, we seem to be continually assaulted by the fruits of Mankind's stupidity." -Roger Penrose
