Serving From Home

摘要

Many of us may have thought that signing up for Internet services that use a dynamic IP address was thereby to give up any hope of serving web pages from our home computers. As I've shown in this article, a dynamic IP address is really no barrier to doing this. Rather, we simply need to upload a few simple Perl scripts to the Redirection Server and then periodically update the stored IP address by running a local cron job. As we've seen, this is not an industrial-strength solution, but it's probably fine for letting your relatives view photos from your recent trip to Hawaii or peruse your weblog. You need to experiment to know how it works for you.
