Is it possible to set a ddns hostname to access a name-based virtual host?

[Hongyi Zhao]

Hi all,

Suppose a file named file.pdf stored in the following web location:

http://some_domain/path/to/file.pdf

Where, the *some_domain* is a name-based virtual host. In this case,
is it possible to set a ddns hostname, say through
http://www.changeip.net/, without using *some_domain* itself, to
access this file?

I think it's possible with the DynDNS.com service and a Web-server
at your end (IIS or Apache). Take a look at

In my case, I can access http://*sensored*.homeip.net/path/to/file.pdf

(was this a a trick question?)
