Re: Bezeq ADSL setup

Can someone verify that the setup does, in fact, support the RFC? I.e. - use hping or other packet crafting tool to generate a big (say, 4K) TCP packet with the "don't fragment" flag set, and see (with tcpdump, or a real sniffer, such as ethereal) whether a "fragment needed" ICMP is sent. If

Ok, I'll add my 4 cents. That's two for the fragmantation mechanism, and two for the "all hosts on the network" question. I'm afraid nothing of what I say will actually answer the original question. First - fraging: When a router receives a packet which is too big to transfer to the next hop,

The gist of your problem is that the registrar resolves your host during registration. This means that dynamic names won't work. What you need, then, is some service that would mirror your domain, and would supply the front end you need. You can try "soa.grantiecanyon.com", if they are still up,
