DynDNS type service in WHM?

[genesis]

Greetings,

I've been a very long time user of WHM and cPanel but first time posting with a question. I've been using DynDNS.org service but now I'm looking into this feature for my personal use. I have access to WHM and cPanel on my dedicated (remote) RH7.2 Linux server.

What I want is to be able to access my home computer (Static IP) by typing in an address http://homecomputer.mydomain.com. But I also want to have access to wildcard, just like DynDNS's service. So for example if I want to access my home router, I'd type in http://homecomputer.mydomain.com:8080 and still be able to access it.

How can I achieve this?

Thank you very much for generous assistance.

genesis.

not sure if this'll work but i think it will

goto the DNS settings for your domain, and add an entry as follows:

homecomputer 88400 in A 0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

where the xxx's are, put in your ip.

this should create a subdomain on ur domain, so when u goto homecomputer.yourdomain.com it should take you to your static ip.........

i have personally had success in doing what you want

all i did was set up a subdomain bla.mydomain.com in whm

then go in to the EDIT DNS zone and change the a record ip address to your static IP

of course you would need a web server running on your home computer running on port 80 and make sure your ISP dont block port 80 like some do

Thanks for the reply guys, although I found out like 10 minutes after posting this, I did exactly the same and all works nicely.
