Maybe where you are. But not where I am.
Yes, some corporations have them behind firewalls. But not all of them,
by any means. Here in the DC area I know of quite a few which aren't
- mainly because they need to be accessed by Remote Desktop, GoToMyPC, etc.
And virtually all broadband and dialup users are on dynamic IP's - but
they still have domains associated with the machine itself. For
instance, my computer right now has the id
c-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.hsd1.md.comcast.net (x's are my ip address). Quite
common amongst ISP's nowadays.
