I encountered the first problem when setting up the web site because my site had to be a subsite under the main site.  I didn’t really want my site to be found at xxxx.homeserver.com/reggie so I started playing with domain forwarding and masking at GoDaddy.  With the help of their fine support I managed to get www.reggieburnett.com redirected to my sub-web but none of the sub-links worked (photos, archives, etc).  Plus I didn’t really like the CNAME redirect.

So this morning I set out to fix that and fix it I did.  Here’s what I did:

1. Removed forwarding of my site at GoDaddy
2. Signed up for the free trial at www.zoneedit.com.  You get free dynamic DNS support for up to 5 sites and 200 MB of DNS traffic (apparently that is *ALOT*)
3. I was already using the excellent dd-wrt firmware on my Linksys router so I just needed to tell it to update zoneedit when my IP changes (and give it my hostname and credentials)
4. Then I disabled my site using the Whiist add-in
5. And finally redirected the default site under IIS properties to point to my blog folder.  The /home and /remote subwebs are still there and point to the correct place.

Now you can go to www.reggieburnett.com and land on my self-hosted blog and I can also reach the WHS goodies through subweb URLs.

**EDIT** looks like my home link is broken but I can fix that with some web.config hacking.  No time right now though.
