Re: hmm... an idea
How dynamic is the ip? What I'm getting at is that it takes time to have a
hostname propogate through the internet (sometimes up to a week). So if you get
this working, and if you're changing ip's every day then some computers on the other side of the world may still point to an ip that has already changed 5-7 times already.
