We've done the reverse of this - we use QuickDNS, and our ISP gets our config via zone transfers, but the Internic points to their equipment. This way we control all the IP for our class C, and don't bother them, but our equipment doesn't take traffic. Rich ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rich Gay
