MediaOne dns problems

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

Interesting. I have had the service for 4.5 years, and in that time I have 
been renumbered 4 times. 2 of which were when they renumbered the 
area the other two was when I changed NICs. I have had some occasion 
when they dropped my host name from DNS. Their excuse was that they 
renumbered, but my IP address remained the same.
