Are you referring to a service like dyndns and no-ip? Where you register an arbitrary sub-domain name to their service and continually update the IP? E.g. javier.dynamic-dns.org -> IN A 193.10.64.51 Does any one know how well/badly this could scale? I've had thoughts along this path my self, where each host at will can register an arbitrary "throw-away" sub-domain. To whom should one be anonymous to? Which turnover would people require on these identifiers? E.g. would it be sufficient if each ISP provides the service to its customers, and that the change rate corresponds more or less to the rate of IP changes (dhcp). Which could mean anything from never to a few times per day. In the case where the local ISP provides the service, I can't see why this wouldn't be a great idea, if the ISP can provide IP's, it should also be able to provide a few sub-domain names. In the case where the service would be provided by random sites on the Internet, well, it is already provided for free today, but I don't know how it would scale (or how a business model would work) if all hosts start registering names automatically. // Javier
