[BC] ANI Faking

Query?

Most wanted traffic on THIS end is from STATIC IPs; otherwise, it'd be 
kinda hard for Domain Name Servers to interpret something like 
radioxtz.com as 207.69.188.186

And with cable/DSL, most theoretically "dynamic" IPs are, for all 
practical purposes, static.

OTOH, I can input the name, rather than the IP number, to the whitelist 
in my firewall, and let Brighthouse/Roadrunner/Earthlink/Mindspring's 
DNS figure it out ...  need a baby detector before throwing out the 
bathwater, obviously.
