Re: [Phpgroupware-users] dynamic ip/internet dilemma

[Chris Weiss]

the easy way is to make your server only answer to identity.homeip.net.

phpGW isn't made to be called by different domain names, and would require some
work to do so.  Even then, because redirects are supposed to require FQDN's, I
don't think it can really be done without breaking that rule.
