Sorry - didn't mean to insult your baby!  By static I mean that it is a
record of what was, not what is!

That is a good point - I will register an inet6num object straight away.

I think I will have a go at including the insertion of the site info into
the database within the current automated
setup procedures.  I think it will be useful to show students of the
training course that the site they are operating from does have an entry in
the registry - it helps to sponsor the importance of the registry.

Thanks for your input
