Hi Darren

On 22 Feb 2003, quoth Darren:

You can put a redirect on a webpage on your linux box to redirect to a
page at your ISP, which is as simple as adding the following within the
<HEAD> ... </HEAD> clause of your homepage:

<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL=http://www.isp.net.au/~darren/">

but I'm not sure if that's what you're asking for.

If you wanted to have the dynamic DNS entry point directly at the ISP's
webpage, then you will need your ISP's cooperation with that, since they
will need to add the appropriate details to their webserver config

Hope this helps

Regards,
