The firewall I use (http://www.clarkconnect.org/) comes with a "dynamic DNS"
service. Basically, the DNS records have a short timeout period (5-10
minutes). A process runs on my firewall to determine whether the
Intenet-side IP address changed. When it does, the program automatically
notifies ClarkConnect to update the DNS record. Without knowing what is
running your website (400? Linux? Windows?), I cannot advise particular
programs to use.

My personal website (http://www.blackrobes.net/) has run on the above
ClarkConnect firewall for nearly a year, and I have never had any DNS issues
related to DHCP-assigned addressed.

HTH,
Loyd

I don't mean to interrupt, but I face the issue of sporadically changing IP
addresses with my website which runs over a DSL line. Every now and then I
realize it's down and discover that my friends at Comcast decided I needed
some excitement in my life. Then, the 12 hour wait for the DNS entries to be
broadcast... So what is this service you mention that could help me with
this? I thank you in advance...
