Once upon a time, Robert Bonomi <bonomi@mail.r-bonomi.com> said:
I'll suggest that (a) IF the addresses do migrate among different customers of the ISP, (b) the addresses handed out are publicly routable, AND (c) the CPE has to 'authenticate' itself to the head-end, then it is _very_ useful *to*the*ISP* to have dynamically-assigned DNS records of the form: cust.{accountid}.{locationid}.ISP.{com/net/TLD} or something of the sort.
Putting a customer ID in reverse DNS would probably be a violation of privacy policies. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
