Ideally this would happen. However as we know, the great majority of ISPs are useless in dealing with abuse. And _that's_ why I'm saying static IPs all around would be nice, because then the Internet community could more easily spot the point source of abuse and take their own measures to block it -- blacklist the IP address so people can block mail and any other traffic at their own firewalls/routers. So the benefit of static addressing would be to the Internet in general, not to individual ISPs. -- Jem Berkes http://www.sysdesign.ca/
