Interesting observation.  IPv6 (through a tunnel broker, or 
native) pretty well solves the need for statics.  I've 
been in discussion with a datacenter I use for a native 
ipv6, and we have gotten an allocationin there as a result. 
But I don't know of a residential service provider offering 
such in Columbus, yet.

What is your problem with a tunnelled ipv6 connection?  They 
are pretty trivial to set up, and I've not noticed any 
'lagginess' with the ones I've used?
