Or maybe not. The situation right now is multiple name and service discovery protocols for Window PC, multiple name and service discovery protocols for Apple, and multiple name and service discovery protocols for Linux and very limited intersection between them, plus they all only work on a single subnet and therefore are useless in anything but homes and the most tiny soho or enterprise. If dynDNS doesn't delete with the lease expire, that just a bug.
