On our broadband network, we have a dhcp and it acts in the same way. Heard
that
you will get a new adress after 3 days. Don't know if true. Maybe they're
caching
the hostnames and try to reuse the IP's just to get less noise on the
network (packets
going for the wrong computers etc)

This seems very interesting as I'm about to put up an own server myself.
Can you tell me more about it or point me somewhere, please?
