Hello,
First, not sure if this is the right group, but as it's to do with
internet then this is the only that handles that side of things.
OK, here's what I am after and what was using before hand to simulate /
use this.
When our client(s) register with us they use a nickname (as most
systems do now, like Yahoo Mail, etc) and they then get a domain name
based on this. So I would register as anthoni and would get a new
domain of anthoni.dnsstreams.net (dnsstreams.net is our domain of
course) and then the client software can be accessed through this
domain name, instead of their public ip address which can change from
each login time.
In the past we was using a peice of software called GnuDIP on our host
and was managed for us using perl on the web host. However our host has
been playing up too much (too many downtimes and no explainations etc)
and we have changed host to KylixHost.com and these dont unfortunately
support GnuDIP on their system.
So what I was wanting to know, is there any way I can simulate this in
Delphi code, on either the client side or the server side, doesnt
matter which.
Look forward to any suggestions.
Regards
Anthoni
