Okay, a quick post before I go to bed.

I’ve successfully set up this URL redirection. I’ve also opened an account with DynDNS.org for dynamic DNS.

So far, I’ve done two things: set up dynamic DNS to point to my home server, then URL redirection to cloak that server name.

I’ve also set up apps on the WinXP and FC1 partitions to dynamically update the IP pointed to by DynDNS since I’m on dynamic IP on my DSL connection.

My problem now is that I have two servers — one on the Windows XP partition and the other on the Fedora Core 1 — and I have to mirror their contents for consistency.

Interesting problem. One approach I can think of is to dump the MySQL databases on each, then do the updates on whichever partition is currently active. I can make a script on Linux there; and probably an autoexec.bat entry on WinXP.

For now, I’m going to sleep.

One that personifies your character, or reflects who you want to be, at the least? Or, even better, one that is free?

Right. Thanks to the PLUG mailing lists, I came across CO.NR — a free domain name service. The path towards CO.NR was a bit convoluted, but I got there. I could just as easily have Googled it, but I was a bit lazy. Hehe.

But now that I got this, well, I might just jumpstart that community-blog project I’ve brewed with a couple of pals. CO.NR has dynamic IP redirection, which means I can host a web server here at home (with the slow 256kbps DSL I have) running on Fedora Core 1. Maybe I can now deploy Drupal, as it has more features that I need, rather than TikiWiki, which can be a pain to configure. I’m setting my sights on Plone, too. Hmmm… So many plans…

Okay, back to my scheming. Will have to explore the dynamic IP redirection now.
