Can you just forward the subdomain to your dynamic dns address?

Trust my rage
We had a bad electrical storm last Wednesday and several things in my house are now fried (outlets, freezer, sprinkler system). Since Wednesday, my Internet has been weird. Normally it works well consistently but since Wednesday it has not worked at times but then been fine other times. Can a router (mine is a time capsule) work intermittently? It's seems like it should either work or not but I'm getting frustrated with the randomness.

Yeah, it can flap if it's been damaged. Hardware can do all sorts of funky things. Could be upstream if the service provider is having problems since the storm, so you might want to give them a call and see if there any known issues.

It's possible your cable or phone lines were damaged too. As an example of how random it can be, when my house was hit by lightning, it fried the modem through the phone line, but the rest of the computer was fine. It also took out the television; vcr; all the phones; the dryer (which was running) but not washer; and, in a completely random gesture, the toaster.

Gud, it is looking like I can do that. I'm now working out how I go about configuring thing on both the Dreamhost end as well as the dyn.com and and then it appears I can also do a configuration on the main airport extreme in the system to deal with the automatic updating. I'm mainly being extra cautious because I know that a DNS configuration error can bring my whole connection down.

Drew, I do DNS in my sleep. If you want, I can check your configuration before you deploy anything. Or if you want to wait a couple of weeks, I can set it up for you.

Nice. I am hopeful about new MacBook Air announcements. Mine is due for an upgrade and I want a retina display.
