Of course, Jay.

First off, static addresses don't belong on the DUL (unless the ISP
chooses to list them).  

Second, any address can be removed by the ISP (even if it is a /32 in
the middle of an otherwise all dynamic /16).  End-users are directed
to have their ISP contact us, as we *do not* take the end-users word
for it.

A quick note to [email protected] will get it handled.
