[ale] DNS question

[Robert L. Harris]

  Not quite, I have a cable modem which is DHCP.  It's static in the sense
it doesn't change very often but if I leave my firewall offline too long
(hardware replacement gone wrong), change my NIC or such it may change.
When it changes I'd just go to register.com and change the IP of
ns1.rdlg.net.  As a backup though I'd have ns2.rdlg.net hosted by a
friend outside that I could ssh to and update to my new IP.



Thus spake Keith Hopkins (hne at hopnet.net):
