Indeed, technically my IPv4 address is a dyanamic address. It has not changed
in years however, so in practise it can be treated as static.

It would if you put the IP address there. But if you use the hostname, *I* will
take care of it by changing the zone file for vlist.eu.

That goes for the IPv6 address as well. It is a static address, but even static
addresses can change. For example when one changes provider. In the case of
IPv6 even with changing the interface card on the local machine. But if you do
not use literal IP adresses, but just the host name in your configuration, you
need not be bothered by it. As I wrote above, I will take care of it.

Indeed, it is.


Cheers, Michiel
