If you own a domain and would like a hostname within it to resolve to a 
dynamically changing IP address such as a home machine, you could use the 
free DynDNS service, then set up a CNAME record in your domain as an alias 
for the DynDNS hostname.

For example, if I used the free DynDNS service to resolve (say) 
jimbohome.dyndns.org to a home machine with dynamic IP, and wanted to be able 
to access the machine as home.turnersoft.co.uk, I would put this in the zone 
file for turnersoft.co.uk (or ask my ISP to do it if I didn't run the DNS 
myself):

home	IN	CNAME	jimbohome.dyndns.org.

Hope this is of interest/help.
