The deal is not that i want to get an anonymous users IP, instead, i have several servers that i want to keep them accessable all the time. some of them are behind NAT, or proxy.
if only one server have static publich IP, i can use it to collect real-time information about the other server and how to access them. for instance, server A who is behind NAT will send message to the public server saying "it's me A, i'm here!" the public server should update the database with "A is there" for servers who have dynamic public address, it's been solved, but for the ones behind NATs and proxies, i don't know.
