Dns2go project provides a free domain name *.d2g.com.
You install a program on your computer, which sends your
IP to them, and they will link the name *.d2g.com with your
IP. You can select a redirection if you are offline.

So, we all can host a mailing list. There are people in
different time zones, so I hope any time is at least one of
our computers up. If there would more then one puter up,
traffic can be distributed between them. Something like Gnutella.

Crazy idea ? :)
