galen, Patrick, the Aracnet DSL Coordinator wrote this when I asked how the change would affect my MTA, httpd, sshd, and proftpd: "In most cases we expect the long-term assigned IP to work much the same as a statically assigned address. As long as the IP does not change, DNS can point a domain name to the assigned IP, and access services run behind that. "Another solution would be a dynamic DNS service - most firewalls and routers will support solutions that will automatically update the DNS of your domain when/if your WAN IP address changes. DynDNS and No-IP are a couple of the services that I recall immediately." I need to read abou DynDNS and learn what to do and how to do it. The folks at aracnet/S1 have been really solid for all these years. I've no objection to staying with them as an ISP if I can learn how to adapt.
