I could understand if they really were 56k modem dialup ip addresses, but this is a ntl cable modem, the linux server sits on it 24-7 and matches the ip address against the dns entry for my domain every hour by cron. If the ip address changes, then the dns gets updated. Lots of people do this via companies like dyndns. I do agree that ntl are pants though.
