[GRLUG] Comcast & dynamic DNS

[Bob Kline]

I haven't received a letter (yet...),  and don't use their
servers.  There was an episode about  9 months ago
when their servers were down for a day or more.  I switched
to other DNS servers and never switched back.


So if their DNS servers go down we're supposed to  just
do nothing?
