So you would be updated all of your DNS every three days when your ip 
addresses changed?  Even if this was scripted to happen automatically you 
would still have propogation issues wouldn't you?  You'd have to keep your 
TTL set really low on all your records to avoid problems, and even then I 
think there are a lot of DNS servers out there that have their own 
timetables for caching records.  Also your DNS servers themselves would 
have to be somewhere with static addressing.

IMO, It would be well worth a little extra $$ to get perm. static IPs.

Is there something I am missing here?
