Steve,

Interesting, if I try and follow your subdomain I just get an error,
page cannot be displayed. I've tried it myself as well, and set up a
subdomain, as I'm on pipex my IP hasn't changed since I started, so for
the redirection I've put that address with the port number on, but it
doesn't seem to work either. Did yours work at your end?

Keith,

That's exactly right. With a fixed IP address, I can register a domain
that points to my IP address. I'd have to find a pair of DNS servers to
hold the records because the domain registration refers to primary and
backup DNS servers, not the target IP address itself.

Instead, I can set up a subdomain on my hosted web site and have it
redirect to my static IP address.

For example, I've just set up http://video.wormpurple.com/ which
(if it
works) redirects to http://wormpurple.myip.org/.

Once I have a static IP address, I'll change the redirection to point to
it. However, that only works for http traffic, so anything else will
either require some more imagination on my part of I'll use the IP
address. I don't intend to host any publicly accessible servers at home,
so it's no great problem for me.

Cheers,
Steve
