Re: Is this possible? DHCP / DNS related.

2005-09-24 Thread Ben Racine
Well, I have permission to run the server, as I'm a CS major and it's
an independent project I'm working on,  so that's not a problem.  I
had already gone to dyndns.com and have a name associated with it that
way, I was just wondering if there was a way to make some sort of
end-run on the campus dns and get it listed as a subdomain without
adding a record in the campus dns.  But it doesn't look like there is 
Thanks though,

 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)

 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.
