Read Comcast's Acceptable Use Policy (www.comcastonline.com). Comcast
prohibits users from using ANY kind of servers---web and mail servers were
mentioned specifically, but I'm not sure if a DNS server was mentioned. I'm
experimenting with a local caching nameserver because Comcast's DNS servers
only seem to operate in 4 hour stints. Then they have to rest for several
hours.
I've had the same IP address for up to a couple of weeks. I can't ping it
from work, nor can some friends of mine. I expect there is a firewall in
place somewhere.
BTW, the mail, web and news servers are erratic at best. I've complained to
Comcast and Excite. They've ignored me.
