I do believe that the dynamic addresses for normal accounts are in the range
206.61.225.XXX.  If you do a findhost on any of the names dynXX.rahul.net, 
you get an address in that range. If everything is the same as when I left, 
each terminal server has a pool of addresses to choose from, enough to cover
one address per modem (which is a lot less than one address per user.)

The Pfree accounts use a different class C range because extra filters are 
enabled on them.
