Thisis why I have setup a TTL of 60 seconds. My IP changes all 24 hours.

Static IPs are typically more expensive than dynamic ones, and that 
extra expense may not be justified for many people.

Note:   Because a techical problem (not on  my  side)  I  can  not  get
        currently I can not get my 100 MBit Backbone before 3 month and
        since I have bougth a new  CISCO  for  78000 Euro,  a  100 MBit
        Ceragon wireless bridge for 13000 Euro, a Sun Enterprise  T5240
        for a realy nice price, I am now fsck'ed...

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
