Oh that makes sense. It is a bit unfortunate though because I was
hoping that in the end I would be able to set up SILC without defining
any of my IP addresses, since they are dynamic. If my IP changes all
that I would have to do is change the DNS records. Now I will have one
more place to correct the IPs when my addresses change.

Anyway, I now finally have it working so I want to thank you for your patience.
