Dynamic-IP update

[unixronin]

Interestingly, our dynamic IP appears not to be as dynamic as Verizon indicated.  We were told that IP addresses were reassigned every 48 hours.  We're currently at about 60 hours without, I believe, a change of IP.

It'll be cool if it turns out to be "effectively static once assigned".

(Which is to say, 48-hour minimum lease time but they won't actually expire the lease while our connection is active.)

Ummm... you need to mess with your dnsalias stuff. Right now it's giving out a non-routable address...

I've found that having a permanent colo (or at least a shared server) somewhere for mail and such tends to work very well... or barring that, maybe a Fastmail account... yes, it costs a bit more, unless you can cut a sweetheart deal with somebody... but if you can wangle a colo on a real T-1 or something (NOT DSL or cable) then you can get to it anytime, anywhere, whether or not Verizon commits an oops.... which they will...

I know. It hasn't been updated since we moved. I'll have babylon5 up in a couple more days and move the ddclient config over to yama.
