Re: Need Exchange help, using DynDNS service

lawoffice.local sounds like a Law Office, are you sure they want to use a
dyndns.org name?

I would probably register lawoffice.com.
I'd also create a dyndns account and use it to create lawoffice.dyndns.org
which points to my SBS's public IP address.
I'd then ask the zone host for lawoffice.com to create an MX entry for the
domain which points to lawoffice.dyndns.org.
Then I'd install Direct Update on the SBS to modify the lawoffice.dyndns.org
entry when the IP changes.

similar to what I do for my sister's domain

advantagemgt.com.au. 300 A 144.136.66.228
advantagemgt.com.au. 7200 NS ns15.zoneedit.com.
advantagemgt.com.au. 7200 NS ns18.zoneedit.com.
advantagemgt.com.au. 7200 SOA ns15.zoneedit.com.
soacontact.zoneedit.com.
1063158811 ; serial
14400 ; refresh (4 hours)
7200 ; retry (2 hours)
950400 ; expire (11 days)
7200 ; minimum (2 hours)
advantagemgt.com.au. 7200 MX 0 mickmalloy.dyndns.org.

PS, DON'T look at the web page in FireFox. I found out yesterday that if you
import a PowerPoint presentation into FrontPage FireFox REALLY hates the
code generated. I'm redoing it by hand so it renders in both.
