Re: [LUG] Dynamic Domain Hosting Service



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I signed up and had a few problems with some of the auto updaters... not
quite sure why... but i found that after a bit of fiddeling i got one of
them to work.... the download is called dhs.sh.gz a simple .sh script that
you modify and run in your ip-up.local script (if using RH), works every
time :). Next challenge is the mail......
