X-J-nine's Freakshow IP address change
Submitted by x-j-nine on Wed, 17/10/2007 - 01:42
I appreciate the frequent listing of my shoutcast server, X-J-nine's Freakshow, on your site. I wanted to post to let you know the IP address of the server has changed to http://24.129.127.8:8000 and with my greater available bandwidth I've been able to increase the max listeners to 12.
Enjoy the music and feel free to offer me suggestions of new music at xjnine@gmail.com.
DynDNS
I recommend using a free service like DynDNS, then you will have a permanent DNS name regardless of your IP number.
Unfortunately I run other
Unfortunately I run other servers from the same IP address and a DynDNS type service would mess up my domain names.
I have two domain names already registered but I guess I'm not smart enough to configure the zone file and my webserver to send traffic for one website to one place and traffic for the shoutcast to another. :-(
Thanks for the suggestion though. It has inspired me to look into a solution for this problem so I can host the server at a standard URL.
IP address
You can have an unlimited number of domain names pointing to your IP address, so that shouldn't be a problem.
I know that but once it gets
I know that but once it gets directed to my IP address I don't know how to direct the port 8000 traffic to the shoutcast server and the port 80 traffic to the webserver. My zone file doesn't let me specify ports, at least if it does I don't know how to do it. I'll keep checking.
I currently have two domain names pointing to my IP, one for a personal website and one for the shoutcast server when I can ever get it figured out. I guess I need to get off my butt.
I guess you use..
some sort of xDSL line? A lot of the routers used for the internal network supports setting up several incoming servers, and sort them by port.. (I do that with my ASUS WL-500G to spilt between my webserver, my emailserver and my Trackmania Nations server)

Ports
You cannot forward ports in a zone file (the DNS system doesn't know about ports), but you would still have the non-changing my.server.com:8000 instead of the changing 123.4.5.6:8000.
(What you *could* have, if you really don't like :8000 in your url, is apache running on your server (on standard port 80), with a VirtualHost directive for my.server.com. Within the directive you could redirect to my.server.com:8000).
Wow, I'm such a dork. I
Wow, I'm such a dork.
I don't know how I didn't know you could use a port number after a URL and not just an IP address.
The server will always be at http://www.x-j-nine.com:8000
Thx guys!

Happy to be of assistance :)
