DynDNS.com provides a free IP Address Alias for everyone. The only problem is, I have a dynamic IP address, so I had to also get ddclient (for Linux) working. It was pretty simple—a package was available on YUM, and it installs itself by default as a daemon (service). All you need to do is set up the /etc/ddclient.conf file to work correctly. You need to do two things with the ddclient: discover your IP address, and check with DynDNS. I basically just had to uncomment some lines and fill in the details. DynDNS has a facility for giving you your WAN IP address. Your router does too, but it may be too hard to find.
