That reply doesn't surprise me the least, it's the standard answer from
every geek who has not spent a few weeks thinking about this :-)
My mom and dad do not put stuff in DNS. If at all, their router does, and
*that* one perfectly well knows how to handle changing prefixes, and update
DNS if needed. It has a menu listing currently active hosts, you pick a
host ID from it, give it a name, and it's published. (It's not as good
as it could be, as you end up in the vendor's DNS tree and not in a
DNS domain of your choice, but it's "running code")
Now, please tell me who is more relevant for *homenet*? A geek who is
stuck in "I want to do this the old way! I have always done it that way!"
or "a standard mom and dad household"?
