-- Hi Microsoft

we are trying to develop a web application to our company use, the problem
is we don't have fixed ip address plus our management don't agree to host
our database on a outside hosting company, so we was thinking that we will
rent an online dedicated server with fixed ip and make it as proxy to our
locally hosted database and web application so it redirect the requests to
us and sent the response from us to web clients is that scenario possible ?
and plus the operating system, database base, and visual studio , and IIS
what else do we need to use ?

i mean whats the architect for such scenario where web application is hosted
on a non static ip server but there is a server with static ip adress that
can redirect the request and the databse connection to the dynamic ip server ?

thank you very much.

Forgot to mention one thing -- you may be able to fix the addressing issue
with dynamic dns, but you still have a potentially broken solution, depending
on what your needs are.. Changes in IP will cause your connections to be
broken, which may impact scalability and depending on application may cause
additional exceptions you may need to handle. And although dynamic dns works
well, it's not an instant solution, it takes a while to propagate.

On the other hand, many DHCP servers constantly give the same IP to the
hardware address, so maybe it's not an issue. My machine at work
(theoretically DHCP with a lease of 2 weeks) has had received the same IP for
more than two years. For me to be given a new address, i'd have to shut down
my computer for about a week or so..

How about using dynamic dns with a public (free) dynamic dns server such as
dyndns.org?
If you rent a server as a proxy, you still need to notify it of IP changes,
no?
