Your fisrt and hardest roadblock will be getting your provider to allow
YOU to be authoritive for the IP or IP's you use.

Many will not allow that - meaning, you will get reolution one way, but
not reverse - meaning again, 123.123.123.123 = yourname.com =
123.123.123.123

Once you get past that - the rest is easy.. Im willing to bet tho - your
provider will not allow you or will have to do that for you.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately
explained by stupidity.
