Re: [PLUG] Reliable DNS server

[epike <epike@isinet.com>]

Another vote for dyndns.org.  I've used them since they
were free (3 or 4 years ago) and I see that up to now
my dyndns domains are still alive (i'm now doing my own dns
for the past 4 months).  There are even 3rd party programs
that will update dyndns dns for you (run in cron to detect if
your IP has changed, that kind of thing).

Before that I used dhs.org--- I see theyre still up 
so it might be worth checking out..
