Our dyndns timed out recently - we'd had the same IP for two months, and
they assumed we'd stopped using the account.  :)  I think a consensus is
that if you register an IPv6 block with BT on your ADSL line, they make
your IP static.  Either that, or they just moved to static for everyone
a few months back.
