e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
craig.dnsalias.com is a dynamic DNS domain provided by dyndns.com.
It's specifically designed for people who want to have a domain-name,
but have dynamic IP addresses. It generally gives very short leases, and
uses a client daemon to update your entry in the zone.
In my case, my IP is supposedly dynamic, in that it's in a dynamic
range, but in reality hasn't changed in over a year. That's why I got
fukka.co.uk and just pointed it at this year-old IP lease.

Yep. I was aware of that.

No idea, it was months ago and the mails have been removed. I remember
them not giving any useful information other than something curt about
dialup addresses and being, if I recall, from an unexpected (to me at
least) address in Scandinavia.
