need help about bind and dns

[Ramiel Givergis <webmaster@relm.net>]

@ Home I have a 5 computer LAN so that I share files, internet etc. with my sibling and parents.
Currently to connect to the internet I use my Debian 2.1 using pon and then I run another script
I made called ipon which runs the ipfwadm stuff... then when I disconnect I use poff and then
ipoff which sets my network settings again so my network works after I disconnect... I also use
a server called dynamic IP (from dynip.com).

I run this dynipclient program and it will assign my current dynamic ip to something.dynip.com
and then I have a cname from my domain to point to that from something.mydomain.com

I really need to find a way to automate this so when I run pon/poff they will take care of my
ipfwadm setup and maybe my dynipcleint if possible.

The other thing is I really really want to find out how to make my computer believe it
is for example:   home.mydomain.com
since home.mydomain.com allready points to my IP

below I have including my pon, poff, ipon, ipoff, and /etc/init.d/network files if they help:

Thanks,
   Ramiel
