I can certainly promise that -- it's my DNS server for my consulting
company, which I certainly hope will last that long.  Granted, the IP
address might change every once in a while, but I'd take care of that

Maybe.  Considering the web site is inaccesible during an outage, it
might not be quite as useful as emails sent out.
