Home servers, anyone?

[Bob Sneidar]

OIC. I'm assuming you've spoken with the ISP about a fixed address. If it's a home level DSL, they won't want to do that, because technically you aren't supposed to be running a server.

The best way to go about this is to set up an authoratative DNS server for your "domain". Here's a good article on the subject.

Yes, that needs to be done locally so the router can router traffic to the appropriate machine, but the issue I'm dealing with is when the ISP doles out a new IP address for the router (with DSL that's usually every router reboot, and for cable less frequently but often enough to make depending on a given IP address impractical).
