   I think, today it is a way to sell their 'business' rates which     
   include static IPv4 and IPv6 prefix...

   My first boss once told me: If something is to be done more than one     
   time, it's worth writing a script to automate it :)   
   But besides, you have to be noticed somehow that the IP/prefix has     
   been changed - or how do you know when to manually update your DNS?
