I don't think crazydomains offer a dns service, at least not for free. Whereas the slightly more expensive registrars sometimes do. There are some free dns servers out there, but IMHO the best one got bought out and I don't think it's as good as it was anymore. I'll leave it up to you to google for them. Basically, you need 2 or more dns servers (which have static ip addresses) to point your crazydomain to, then you set up the dns with whatever you want with a short ttl, say 300 seconds, and update the dns (not crazydomain) every time your ip changes, presumably programmatically and automatically. -- http://chesterton.id.au/blog/ http://barrang.com.au/linux/ -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
