I'd say a one time fee for the effort of adding the record = to the nameserver would be enough.

Given that many large ISPs force = you to get a business account if you want a static IP, and a higher = price. >=20 I think both practices are relatively despicable, but, widespread enough = that perhaps I am in the minority. Hopefully this will get better in IPv6. Owen
