Uhh .. forgot to mention: this is not a home, fun project. I'm talking
about DNS servers in 5 countries on 5 independant lines (obviously). I
don't care where you buy your domains, where you point your domains to
and i've even seen some of my customers "missusing" the webinterface for
their own little dyndns purposes.

Reason for this: i do have loads of bandwidth that i don't use and who
knows, people might like the uptimes of my servers for other purposes.

Downside: you'd better know your dns, because support will be limited to
server-side issues and connectivity, not: how do i set my dns up? The
service comes AS IS, take it GPL'd :o)
