First of all, I'd like to thank all who responded to my original question:

>What do I use for the secondary DNS server (without buying another static
IP address)?


I was probably leaning toward taking Leland Lammert's suggestion, which was
to find someone else in the same situation, and mirror each other as
secondary servers. My only question there would have been where to look for
someone willing to do this.

Then, more or less to vent my frustration, I called my ISP's sales
department (after running into a complete dead end with their "tech
support".) It appears this sales guy has the best answer, so I decided to
share it with the list, in case anyone else runs into this:

He suggested doing a Yahoo search for "free DNS". To my surprise, the very
first link that came up in this search seems to be exactly what I'm looking
for. If anyone would like to check it out, the URL is:

Has anyone had any experience using a service like this?

Once again, thanks for the responses!
