technically they are "dynamic" but many a @home person has told me their
dhcp server never revokes your IP so it will always be constant and when
they came to "install" my modem, they made everything static.

downgrade.NET currently runs off of an @home ip address

just change the primary nameserver and secondary nameserver to what ever
you want :

Primary Nameserver : ns.downgrade.net    24.7.245.31

then you set up bind and setup A records to point at what ever you want :

tombstone      IN   A     24.7.245.31
               IN   MX    10    mail.downgrade.net

huffduff       IN   A     24.2.222.220
             

course, none of these will resolve due to @home, they'll still appear as
c669503-c and c669503-a.elnsng1 

but it'll work
