Re: [Nolug] Cox: grrrr.... BIG GRRR...

So what if they shorten the lease times. Unless your IP changes it's
no big deal and it rarely will if your firewal is online 24/7.

Besides, it's not that hard to write scripts to update your firewall,
email you the new IP, and even update a dynamic DNS server entry. All the
DHCP clients I am aware of have "hooks" for adding scripts when changes
in IP state occur. There are several mini-howto's on the web about this.
