For the past few years I've had some log reports going to me email. I just got my current IP from the email headers and haven't needed a dynamic dns since. If I ever get to the point that I'm too lazy to use my email headers, I figure I'll just pay for a static IP (or get an IP6 address for free) and register it somewhere, and forget about it. ;-Daniel Fussell /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
