I had this set up on a server, I'd cron a job to scrape its public IP and store it in file (A), and then compare the last check against file (B), if there were a difference it would email me. I'd like to have created my own Bind server and have the IP updated automatically, never got that far though. I'll assume the hosts are M$ based, and therefore don't have cron as I know it. Not sure how to help there, search the internet (ddg.gg to escape the filer bubble - not to mention the tracking). _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list Peterboro@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro
