I am in agreement.  I had been doing my DNS research from a static IP
associated with an end luser broadband line, but I am re-jiggering
my entire network now and plan to get rid of -that- static IP.  And
that's what prompted my question(s).  Apparently, once I make this
change, I won't be able to just carry along as I had been doing before.
Instead, as it now seems, I'll have to move my DNS research to some
cloudish sort of place.
