hello, i was wondering what is wrong with the protocol that it can't
take dynamic IP's ?

I'm not sure what you mean with that. Do you mean that clients can't
have a dynamic IP address? They can. Servers can have it too as long
as a DNS name points to it.

You're right, there is nothing in the protocol that prevents Jabber using "dynamic DNS addresses" that are updated when ever the IP changes. But the implementation of jabberd 1.4.x does not allow you to use these addresses. It chaces DNS entries it has resolved for two hours and doesn't care if the TTL value is shorter.
