Are you using their 'web hop' service? If so, just create another 'web hop'. That is what I did and it doesn't cost anything extra. -- Gerard Seibert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Is this possible? DHCP / DNS related.
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, -Ben Racine On 9/24/05, nawcom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I was having the same issue here at where I work at University of > Michigan.

Re: Is this possible? DHCP / DNS related.
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.

Unless you have friends in the IT department there. I would suggest NOT saying anything to the IT department about your server, as this is probably a AUP violation, and puts you on the radar. If you can get the DNS entry, I would suggest they delegate the sub-domain to you. In bind, it would require two entries, a A record and NS record. bsdservr IN A your.server.ip freebsdserver IN NS bsdserver.campus.edu. Doing this would allow you to make sub-domains so you could have host1.freebsdserver.campus.edu host2.freebsd.campus.edu etc.. You will need to run your own DNS server to handle the delegation and resolution. -Erik- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Is this possible? DHCP / DNS related.
I have recently set up a web server on my college network. It is behind DNS and DHCP servers that are out of my control. What I would like to do is be able to associate a name something like bsdserve..edu . However, I'm fairly new at all this, but from 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?
