Hey, about that (2) "public server" running without
a "fixed IP address," would also work for (3). Here's
a site that Deerfield has established. They only did
this because the idea was knocking around in my
head, and they knew I'd be just frosted to discover
someone beat me to it. Oh, and the basic service is
FREE.
www.dns2go.com
You can either 1) download a special client from
them which notifies their site every time you get
on line or 2) run their web-based client when you
want your site exposed.
The idea is pretty cool. You can have a meaningful
server on a dial-up line. I have 2 virtual domains
up there, which I don't use yet, but I love what
they've done with the concept.
