Thanks for that. I know of some folks dealing with dynamic DNS issues and I
passed along this tip.

Steve,
To solve the dynamic DNS issue, I asked Brian to setup a hostname in the
AMPR DNS with a CNAME record instead of an A record, which referenced a
dynamic hostname.
Basically, when someone resolves your CNAME record, it will provide the
dynamic hostname, that hostname is then resolved for its A record.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNAME_record
As an example, perform a NSLOOKUP on
kb3vwg.ampr.org you'll note that it's a
CNAME record to a dynamic DNS name; that name is also used for my 44Gateway
(instead of the IP).
