A fixed address is required to host some services such as an authoritative DNS server, and highly recommended to host an MX server. > I ran a home mail/web server for many years on SBC DSL with a > dynamic (PPPoE) address.

A dynamically assigned address can be fixed, i.e. never change. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
