I am gonna sign up with zoneedit this weekend and get it all setup with ddclient. I used to use dyndns, but zoneedit looks cool. Will report back once its setup. Btw, awesome blog, have just subscribed to it :) Cheers, Matt Hey Tinuva,

Now I know your domain;s dns is hosted with Mediatemple, but you could always and NS records for lets say home.iarematt.com to point to zoneedit's servers, then control *.home.iarematt.com with zoneedit while you keep the current part of your domain with Mediatemple, or register a .za.net domain and use them with zoneedit. Eitherway my favourite dynamic dns client on linux is ddclient by far.

My laptop hard drive crashed the other day, so I know how it feels :( Totally sucks. I will definitely be following your blog to get your updates once you install your new hard drive. Good luck with it! No worries at all :)

Unfortunately, just as I'd finished setting up my routing correctly that I could work on the server remotely in spite of the dynamic IP address, the HDD gave in and I lost all my hard work. So much for being a backup administrator... I'll be installing another HDD after next pay day (25th) after which I'll be documenting my progress 0 properly this time. :) I did the same thing at home, though I installed Arch Linux.
