Not certain I would want to do that. However, I have dxcluster.net (and 
dxspider.net as well - the synonyms) specifically for node addresses, 
like wr3d.dxcluster.net, which I maintain for people to use if they 
would like.

Typically I use CNAME records in that domain to point to the true dns 
record of the node. There is no reason why you could not give yourself a 
dyndns dns A record and I CNAME to that.

I much prefer this way of working because I can then be reasonably sure 
that the system is not misused.

I am herewith punting it to the sysops at the same time, if only to 
remind people that the facility is available if anyone wants to use it.
