Any IP that a provider allows servers on should have distinctive, non-dynamic-looking DNS (and preferably be in a separate netblock from the dynamically-assigned IPs).
What the hell is a "non-dynamic-looking DNS"? Sure, if I see something like "static-192-168-1-1.isp.net" I can be reasonably sure that it's non-dynamic-looking, but what does the same thing look like in Portugese? German? Spanish? French? (Korean? Chinese?) Just wait'll we start getting unicode DNS names in non-English alphabets. Perhaps then you can tell what to look for in a string of Kanji symbols which might be suggestive of the concept of "static". - mark -- Mark Newton Email: newton@internode.com.au (W) Network Engineer Email: newton@atdot.dotat.org (H) Internode Systems Pty Ltd Desk: +61-8-82282999 "Network Man" - Anagram of "Mark Newton" Mobile: +61-416-202-223
