The issue I am having is that some of these sites do not have fixed addresses, and the lease exp- ires every 12 hours or so. If I use the domain name address it will pick up the numerical address when ax25ipd is first started but once started it appears to cash the address it got and continue to use it rather than try to resolve the domain name each time it needs to make a connection. In my particular case I am trying to make connetions to people using the no-ip.com domain, but I tried it with another and the same thing happens. It resolves the first time and continues to use that address even after the dhcp assignment has changed which indicates to me that it is only doing address resolution when ax25ipd is starting. -- Chuck Hast To paraphrase my flight instructor; "the only dumb question is the one you DID NOT ask resulting in my going out and having to identify your bits and pieces in the midst of torn and twisted metal."
