Dynamic DNS 1) Requires that users set it up. 2) Is centralized. 3) Is scrambled in China. (look up anything.dyndns.org and you get a randomly generated IP address). 4) Can in some cases require payment. (specifically, if your IP is almost but not quite static, you may have to buy an upgrade to prevent your dyndns expiring). > > Cheers, > Michael -- Matthew J Toseland - toad at amphibian.dyndns.org Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
