Configure BIND to listen on it and the dynamic address you get to use internet won't bother anyone (even BIND itself). On the other hand, configuring a DNS server listening on a dynamic IP address is a really bad idea. BIND 9 Administrator Reference Manual is a good place to start (I started there a few weeks ago). http://www.bind9.net/manual/bind/9.3.1/Bv9ARM.html Best wishes, Andrew P.
