Is it possible to run a subspace server from my computer using a DDNS?

Using a Dlink WBR-2310, I tried using the Dlink free DDNS thing, but once i put in my static IP and port into the "Add Custom" box in Continuum it doesn't connect to the server.

Is there something else I can do, maybe DMZ?

Hmm I think I was thinking about something else... <waits for someone else to answer>

Write a script that will do the dns lookup and place the appropriate ip in zones.dat, and then start continuum, then get everyone to switch over and use it.

Actually, in the zone description some have a dns attribute... like hz has
ss://zone.rshl.org/

and tw has ss://server.trenchwars.org/

I know the client scrapes the description for links for the websites... it might do the same for dns lookups on zone ip addresses

edit: some clues in continuum changelog
