Now that I have an IP address (albeit DHCP) on HamWAN, how do I
assign an ampr.org DNS hostname to it, and (if feasible) a reverse
IP DNS entry? Do I:<br>
<ol>
<li>Contact someone here?</li>
<li>Contact John Hays (the owner of 44.24.0.0/16)?</li>
<li>Need a fixed IP address for these features?</li>
</ol>
<p>This is not urgent; I'm just curious what the plans are for
hostnames on ampr.org (or even hamwan.org). Right now I
DDNS-update my own DNS server to point "hamwan.ae7q.net" to my
present DHCP address. However, that may or may not be accessible
by some "44-only" network users. Eg, I may want/"need" a hostname
served by someone's (authoritative) DNS server on the 44.x.x.x/8
network, which seems to suggest a hostname (or sub-domain) in the
ampr.org domain.<br>
</p>
<p>The pattern seems to be either a hostname of the form
<callsign>.ampr.org, <b>OR </b>a delegation of a
sub-domain with the same name. Either works for me, although if I
also get one of John's UDRX-440 radios (I've had reservation for
one, for the past year), I'd need another hostname anyway, so
maybe a ampr.org sub-domain and a static IP (for its DNS server)
is the way to go ...<br>
