I'm looking for a way to track the IP addresses of the remote sites as they change, the cable IP's don't chnage very often but the ADSL's get a new public IP every time they loose connectivity. I'm looking to run my own server like www.dyndns.org. I asked because the Linksys, Netgear support contacting a Dynamic DNS server with it's IP address option and there are also clients for FreeBSD.
