LexArrow - it’s in your mind…
"life is a game - you just have to know the rules"
I’m in 7th Heaven after me and Chris pulled it off!
I’ve been working for a while now at a script that downloads, installs and configures server applications: OpenLDAP, Apache HTTP, PHP, MySQL, Postfix, Dovecot, Samba, Joomla, Bugzilla, KnowledgeTree, SugarCRM, PHPLDAPadmin, Pure-FTP and Webmin. I think such software would be very useful for system administrators and developers because you waste a lot of time installing and configuring something that is critical for an enterprise and can be automated.
The problem was I have a dynamic IP address, and the only solution to have a working domain/subdomain is through a dynamic DNS. So, on Chris’s advice I went on www.afraid.org, created an account for free, submitted my desired subdomain test.lexarrow.com. I also had to upgrade the firmware on my Linksys WRT300N router so it can update the IP (got the upgrade file from : www.dd-wrt.com ).
The new admin interface on my router is just awesome! Built-in VPN server, wake-on-lan and lots of others that it didn’t have before the upgrade.
This wasn’t all it took. Chris had to update the NS for the subdomain and voila : test.lexarrow.com works!
Now I can finally begin my real-life testing 
P.S: If you are interested in the software I’m developing, please drop me a comment. If there will be enough “desire” for it, I could make it a public project.
