The buildd has *no* external IP at all, but an MX RR pointing to
a server with static IP (as a general rule, any server listed in
any MX RR *SHOULD NOT* have a dynamic IP anyway):
tg@blau:~ $ host -va ara5.mirbsd.org
Query about ara5.mirbsd.org for record types ANY
Trying ara5.mirbsd.org ...
Query done, 1 answer, status: no error
The following answer is not authoritative:
ara5.mirbsd.org 51668 IN MX 10 zigo.mirbsd.org
tg@blau:~ $ host -va zigo.mirbsd.org
Query about zigo.mirbsd.org for record types ANY
Trying zigo.mirbsd.org ...
Query done, 1 answer, status: no error
The following answer is not authoritative:
zigo.mirbsd.org 51661 IN A 87.98.215.239
I do not use *any* CNAME RRs in my DNS. Didn’t even do that
when my home ADSL had a dynamic IP. (I just ran my own dyndns
solution, using sixxs’ heartbeat protocol, on my dedicated
server.)

detail in the program, which is as sensible as putting all the prepositions
in English text in bold font. -- Rob Pike in "Notes on Programming in C"
