As William has already hinted at, I leave my TTL low. Thus far (over
two years) I have not had an issue with anything like that. I think
part of the reason I haven't noticed any problems is because even
though I have a "dynamic" address, I don't believe it has changed more
than a couple of times in the past couple of years, and those were
because of extended Roadrunner outages (because someone ran over the
cable with the lawn mower, even though the cable was burried... Lond
story <G>)
