I may possibly run into the same problem. I too have dynamic addresses. At least on paper. My IPv4 addres does not change unless the WAN side MAC changes or if I let the lease expire. Like yours, it cabn be stable for years.

The IPv6 may be different. It has not changes since I activited my present modem/router last week. It is a bit too early to tell how stable it will be. A guy on the Dutch IPv6 forum who lives near here and has the same CPE, says his prefix has changed twice in the last six month.

He too says, the change happened with no obvious link to something he did.

He also says he has a script to automatically update the DNS. It is tuned to the API od his DNA provider so it will probably not work for me. Anyway, if it only changes twice a year, automatic update is not high on my lisy of priorities.


Cheers, Michiel
