OK -- sorry, this isn't really a Linux question, but I thought many other
Linux users might be using the free myip.org dynamic DNS service to keep a
rational constant host name when using cable-modem DHCP-assigned addresses.
myip.org seemed to disappear yesterday causing all my mail that was
addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to give errors to the sender because
the DNS couldn't resolve "hashbang.myip.org". "www.myip.org" doesn't
respond and the nameservers ns1.myip.org and ns2.myip.org don't even look
up EACH OTHER. dhs.org offers a similar free service, but it's only
updated once per day at 6 AM pacific time whereas myip.org updates
dynamically, so things work OK when MediaOne renumbers me and their DNS
takes a long time to catch up with it. Freshmeat has had a couple handy
updaters for myip.
Anybody have a clue what happened to myip.org? Are they dead, moribund, or
just temporarily offline?
