Hi Helmut,
Even so, I do not see the need to let the host be bothered by a changing 
IP address provided by the ISP.
Let all that be handled by a cheap router, whose LAN ip address remains 
constant to the lan in it's
subnet for which it is the gateway. You can always query the router for 
what IT'S nameservers (provided
by the ISP) are.

I am surprised that people are making work for themselves for nothing.

Cheers,

JD
