Interestingly enough, I thought of the same thing using dyndns.org (and send a
direct email to the original author) suggesting the use of one of their clients
for Linux.  I regularly use their site checkip.dyndns.org to determine my
current IP (or the IP of my gateway/proxy).  Comparing what checkip.dyndns.org
reports to what www.whatismyip.com reports I get two different results.  Dyndns
reports my internal IP which is a 10.x.x.x address while whatismyip reports a
normal outside address.  First time I have seen this behavior with DynDns, has
anyone else had problems with them?
