Hello Nicholas!

 Yes I remember that, but I run the update once a day, the lease time of my
 dynamic address is over 30 days. In practice it does not change unless
 the provider changes hardware, or I release the address for some time.

 I changed the update software I originally used to ddclient.
 Ddclient is standard available in the Debian distribution.

 The following snippet of the configuration file does the trick.

use=if, if=eth1
usev6=ip, ip=2001:888:132a::34
mx=mail.ddutch.nl

 My fost is connected to the ISP wityh a bridge, so there is not nat-router
 in between. I think ddclient can handle that as well.

 By the way your dns responce is now correct and I used it to make a call.
 By accident I bothered Jim again, apologies to him.

  Success.

Kees
