I installed ddclient and it appears to be doing it the "wrong" way. I'm curious how ddclient can do it the "right" way since it doesn't know *when* the NAT firewall changes IP addresses. Unless...it sends updates periodically?,,,but even *that* is frought with peril because what if the interval isn't small enough......etc. Chris -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
