Now that I have a DSL connection with a static IP address,
what is the best way to "connect" it to my domain name so
the world can get to my web server? I can think of 3 choices,
but I'm not sure which is the best:
1) Use a third-party domain forwarding service like tjns.
Seems ugly, costs money (tho not much), plus I just hate
not having control of the configuration.
2) A DNS server on the internet side of STN. This doesn't
seem to be part of the normal configuration so this would
involve building kernels and boot from a hard drive.
3) Forward DNS requests (via ipportfw) from STN to a DNS
server on the inside network. I already have a DNS server
running for local queries as part of another project. Will
this work if I resolve all names to the external IP of the
STN box?
Any other suggestions? I want to keep using STN if possible
so I can have more machines connected to the internet than my
ISP will give me IP addresses for (ie, the NAT feature).
