Anynetwork.net

Posted in Uncategorized at 1:40 am by Toby

I had an idea the other day, I thought ‘Why do we have to type all these 192.168.1.x addresses, it seems like a waste of time and a bit archaic.  Why can I name my machines and have a domain name for them.  Actually why cant everybody’.  Now they can.

Introducing ‘Anynework.net’

I have updated the DNS on anynetwork.net to have lots and lots of fully quaified domains pointing to IP addresses within the 192.168.1.x address space.

Simple

server1.anynetwork.net – 192.168.1.1
server2.anynetwork.net- 192.168.1.2
…

server254.anynetwork.net- 192.168.1.254

Fruity

apple.anynetwork.net – 192.168.1.1
banana.anynetwork.net- 192.168.1.2

 

I’m in the process of writing an API so that you can get your app to request a subdomain to use for a specific ip address.

See Anynetwork.net for more details.

The only gotcha is if you’re disconnected from the net the names may not work.
