[LUG] DNS Entry for Broadband IP

 

Guys

My domain  is registered with UKReg and points to my Fasthosts website.

I have a static IP for my broadband connection and would like to publish a 
public DNS entry of (say) www2.mydomain.co.uk for that IP.

I currently have set up a subdomain for www2.mydomain.co.uk and in the 
www2 directory on my public website (that the subdomain points to), I have 
created an html file that redirects to my broadband IP and so connects 
users to my local HTML services. This workaround only works for browsers 
however and not for SFTP/SHH. It only works for connecting to the root of 
my local web server too, a connection to http://www2.mydomain.co.uk/~mart 
fails (I guess because I don't have a corresponding directory with 
redirection file on my Fasthosts webserver).

I have an open ticket with Fasthosts currently to see if I can add an 
extra DNS entry but I don't think that service is available to me.

My local server is Mandrake running Apache, Subversion and SFTP/SHH but 
the Fasthosts server is IIS.

Are there any magic trick I can perform to get what I need?

Cheers

Mart
