You *almost* *have* to do that. On just about all DNS and hosting services that I've played with, you have little control over the DNS server - they only give you a limited interface. While it's easy enough to add more sub-domains that point to your web presence, it's often harder to add records for internal LAN IPs, as sometimes they only ask you for the name you want to create, and they fill in the numerical IPs. And probably only the dynamic IP providers would give you any way to deal with LAN PCs that periodically change their IPs. So, it *can* be easier to run your own DNS server, on your own computers, that resolve LAN addresses, then refer to a DNS server on the web to resolve external IPs. Of course you may find a better DNS provider, who gives you a really good interface for doing what you want with your DNS records. Then all you have to consider is whether you care that the world can find the LAN IPs for your devices. Bearing in mind that any PC you send email from exposes its IPs, anyway. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.
