I'm using a cable modem and get a DHCP delivered address. I just treat it as pseudo-static and update my DNS zone to the new number, with a script. I just added IN A records for all the host names I'm using. I also host 5 virtual domains and use one additional zone for them, (since they all have the same setup and all share the same pseudo-static IP). I looked at TZO's website, and says they have to host the DNS, (I guess to do the dynamic DNS updating?), and that one would point an IN CNAME to the tzo.com logical address. But that violates the rule about not pointing IN MXes at IN CNAMEs? a fuzzy, Fuzzy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
