It doesn’t make it right
when you ask about me day and night
Now that I carry myself on my own
You pretend you’ve been there and I wasn’t alone!
Weren’t you the one who started off
that I had to do it all … myself
I did not ask for your help
your guidance or advice
and when I refuse it all
you argue and get mad, not making sense at all!!
It doesn’t make it right
Because we no longer fight
I’m pretty sure
you’ll always be there
But when I truly need you
you’ll vanish into thin air
I hope you prove me wrong
Because I’m not that strong
I hide it all so well
in my deep dark bottomless well
I remember that one moment I held you so tight and I let it all go
My high walled defences went down and I let all my tears flow
But for now …
I’m telling YOU what I AM going to do
and by the way, these are all my own doings no thanks to YOU
Why Static IPs?
Posted by Bloggylife in technology on April 19, 2009
There are many issues with dynamic IPs for stations providing services such as web, email, FTP, etc.
- Can’t guarantee they’ll always keep the same IP.
- Changes need to be reflected on the DNS, which may have been set so that hosts can automatically register themselves or not. DNS changes take time to be propagated to other servers.
- Some applications need the IPs to be coded within them, if the IP is changed it has to be reflected as well.
- Most importantly, when you configure the firewall, it’s for that specific IP, I personally haven’t seen a firewall where the host is configured with name only and DNS is used to lookup the IP.
| Source | Destination | Service | Action |
| Any | Web Server Public IP | http | accept |
- For email, services, PTR records are created to verify that you are not a spammer and if you don’t own your IP block, you got it through an ISP which is the common case, PTR records for your IP block is pointed at their main DNS servers and not yours. So imagine the headache of everytime calling your ISP to change the public IP record. You may argue well only the private IPs are changed and mapped to the same public IP, you’d be amazed to know that some configure their public IPs direct on their servers.
- DNS servers are configured with IPs only. Example, if you are looking for x.google.com, a list of their DNS IP addresses is added (ex: 216.239.32.10) in other root DNS servers for you to go there and retrieve the correct IP.
That’s what I came up with, there may be other reasons 
Left Out ??

Having a baby in your life, doesn’t mean that you forget your first one. Because the latter might resort to ways to catch your attention … like sitting on the baby’s carryon ;P
