Well, if the DNS server you have access to has a static IP then it would be possible. You'd have to register the domain name for your dynamic IP with the nameserver listed as the DNS server on the static IP you have. For example: dynamic ip name: www.mysite.com static ip DNS server name: dns.mystaticdns.com You set the nameserver for www.mysite.com to dns.mystaticdns.com. Then anytime your IP changes, you update dns.mystaticdns.com with that info and reload the appropriate zone. (Restarting bind would be one way of doing this.) Assuming that your static ip DNS server is running debian, it would be "/etc/init.d/bind9 restart". If, however, you don't have a nameserver with a static IP, then the only real alternative is to go with something such as dyndns.org. I don't know of any real howto's on the subject, but reading up on DNS in general would be a good start, followed by reading up on bind in particular.
