MediaOne dns problems

[kancer at kancer.978.org (Kris_Loranger)]

I have also had the service for 4.5 years(first one in Chelmsford) and I
have had 3 IPs. My favorite(read:PITA) was 24.218.80.255 which I had for
2 years and I would still have it if I didn't move.
Some towns just had bad IP planning and needed to be renumbered sometimes.
