Thanks, Josh. I'll go that route ... maybe, if I can understand it. Need
to do research, but you've given me all I need to start.
Debian has a dyndns client (ddclient) in the package repostiories. If
you using the client behind a NAT router, be sure to configure it to use
the web. The specific config would be something like:
# /etc/ddclient.conf
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid
protocol=dyndns2
use=web
server=members.dyndns.org
login=username
password=password
hostname.homelinux.org
Then invoke it through cron or hook it into your dhcp client and you are
done. ddclient will not contact the server if the IP is the same, so
running from cron will not result in abusing the server.
