The problem with this approach is that the same ISP will sometimes use different DNS numbers depending on the demand and the volume of traffic at any particular time. The DNS numbers are not constant and fixed. It's like during rush hour on the freeway when you are allowed to use more lanes than you are normally allowed to use during periods of normal traffic. Those cars going in the opposite direction from the one towards which most others are moving are allowed to use fewer lanes. You aren't allowed to use the same lanes all the time, and those who make the rules can change the rules at any time, depending on the situation and the flow and flux of things. Which is the best lane to travel in? Well, that depends . . . The ISPs try to direct you into the fastest moving lanes by use of dynamic DNS assignments.
