Static IP addresses also expire even quicker.

I prefer to use nodelist because it`s from our ZC. Fidonet.net, on
the other hand, is owned by some anonymous motherfucker who could pass
all connections through his MITM proxy, collecting passwords.

What for?

It`s much easier to keep IP addresses up to date via DNS. Nodelist
updates take time. And people are lazy - some NCs don`t update their
segment for many months.

So you don`t have any statistics about the problems of current DNS
and IP addresses? So sad.
See you,
