for the dorm ethernet connection, the offical address is something like
resnet-59-9.dorm.utexas.edu
where 59-9 changes as your IP changes..I apply for a DNS entry through the
dorm, so the alias is
torus.dorm.utexas.edu
however, when I telnet out, it uses the 59-9 as the address I am coming
from..I am writing a program now that connects back to my machine. and
wish to use torus.dorm.utexas.edu to compare whether the connection is
from my machine because I don't want to re-compile this program everytime
my IP changes...any ideas to get around this problem? and without
violating the resnet policy..thanks
