Has it been a while since you've been on a resnet? They're bad, but most
all "ResNet's" I know of are now implementing some sort of MAC/DHCP combo
at the very least.
That might have been true a couple years ago but recent DMCA notices and
Worm activity have /forced/ (often by their upstream) ResNet's to clean up
their act.
I don't think our ResNet is a shining example of excellence by any stretch
but they know who is registered behind each port/ip/mac address which
gives you a pretty good idea of who is on your network.
I won't comment on what leaves the ResNet on port 25 and what leaves the
network with no prayer of ever routing back. *cough* That's a whole
'nother issue for them to deal with, and at some point soon, I think they
will.
