Thanks for the info everyone. I signed up for Dyndns last night and hope 
to play with it some today. I have a question though.  I have a box 
running a WWW server, Sendmail and my DNS at xxx.xxx.xxx.6 and a 
firewall/router at xxx.xxx.xxx.2. Both of these are static IPs and both 
are on my domain. Do I install on both of these boxes or just on the box 
running the DNS?  My home network sits behind the router and is on 
192.168.xxx.xxx network.

Thanks again for the help.
