no, DNS is only responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses, it knows nothing about web server directories, or even about web servers period. i think what you would do is run apache or some small httpd that simply redirects to http://194.235.126.184/~sebas -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
