Dynamic IP is the solution and for having a web server and you need an awk/sed script/s to automatically update your Dynamic IP service and your servers configuration file when ever there is a change of IP.
a simple hack/script that i have a year ago for changing IP of your httpd.conf #!/bin/bash IP=`/sbin/ifconfig ppp0| grep inet | cut -d : -f 2 | cut -d\ -f 1` echo $IP sed -e "s/NameVirtualHost 202.*:80/NameVirtualHost $IP:80/g" /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf > /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf2 mv -f /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf2 /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf /etc/init.d/httpd restart ppp0 is you ADSL connection another script is to monitor if theres a change of your IP attach for rp-pppoe scripts ---ran ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ian C.
