Ever wondered how the clients are able to contact your web server on a private address behind your ISP's NAT, when the A record actually points to the ip address of the ISP?
Okay. Let me put it this way. Why do I have to install a client like ddclient to update my IP. Why can't the private IP be updated simply by visiting some pre-determined website. Why doesn't dynamic dns work without installing any package on my system? I could just schedule a cron job to visit a particular website and that should update my IP. After visiting Rony's link, it seems the above is possible. It gets my public IP, and it gets my private IP, without me installing any client on my system.
