well unless russ gets too mad at me, i intend to get the dns stuff going.
unfortunately, the connection service stuff looks a little too far out 
there for unix.

btw, does anybody know of a portable way to get all the interface addresses
on a unix machine? <ifaddrs.h> from the gnu library seems to Do The Right
Thing. does it work on bsd-based systems, solaris, osx?

| I'd like to answer that.  I'd be a lot happier with NDB than with ISC
| DHCPD's (and BIND's) idea of a database.  Preferably the best from both.
| 
| Hard to do DDNS, mind you, but then I _do_ remember where DHCP started
| and DDNS is still as superfluous now as it was then.

| couple of days.
