My address for the link in my sig below isn't fixed, but its now been
stable into the 3rd, 5 years at $20 renewal at Namecheap. And it won't
change unless shentel changes how they do dhcp between my router and
their servers The secret for me? I've cloned the same MAC into both
routers, normal and a cold backup, so they are 100% interchangeable.
Both routers are running dd-wrt, and that url _is_ this machine.
