No Need for Static IP

[David]

Their is no need for a static IP address, visit the following site:
www.dyndns.org

I have about 6 customers running on a dynamic dns service and it works perfectly!!

I'm using easydns.com. They provide Dynamic DNS too, along with backup mail servers. My smoothie handles all this for me

Actually you mean the DYNAMIC IP address can be given a friendly DNS name.....and yes dyndns is gr8, I have used it since November 2002 for clients and to host my own game/ftp server from ADSL

Still doesn't solve the following problems:
1. Running a mail server off your dsl. Dynamic IP = autoblacklisted (can't even mail forward to smtp.saix as they limit the amount of messages you can send per hour/day)
2. Running systems that don't do name translation, ie polycom systems

Really wish someone would offer a static IP on a normal account. Having to fork out R1000+ just for the luxury is ridiculous

A static IP would make life much easier and R1000 for a static IP is just not worth it. (With my P4 dedicated server which costs under R500 a month oversea's I can buy an extra IP addresses for $4 per month or I can buy a whole bunch for next to nothing)

X-Dsl has reverse DNS on its ADSL accounts. You do not need DYNDNS or any client. If your username is [email protected] your dns is abc.xdns.co.za.
I am sure there are other ISP's that implement a similar system, ask around maybe your ISP already do it!
