These are all great; I'm going to have to go poking. Because I'm apparently too thick-headed to go Googling, I just wrote my own little php script that checks the external IP in the web server vars and records that along with any IPs passed by the caller, which gives me something like Array ( [realname] => LNXTW8DT6667 [nickname] => att-2 [iflist] => fd0c:b6df:327:5449:7962:9bcc:c544:8165,fe80::20d7:3c0d:a6ae:f817,169.254.248.23,2602:306:301d: [remote_addr] => 99.1.220.169 [lastreport] => 2016-09-16 12:53:04 ) Array ( [realname] => samuel [nickname] => samuel [iflist] => fe80::b8c1:6ec:5d16:4d1d%2,10.0.5.199,2001:0:9d38:90d7:1a:200e:9743:645,fe80::1a:200e:9743:645% [remote_addr] => 104.188.249.186 [lastreport] => 2017-04-26 14:24:56 ) when I want to get back to, say, my house. It does the job. I've thought for years about handing my justpickone.net DNS off to someone to not only manage the static records but also just pick up any other locations (home, rental, in-laws, ...) that matter to me and get past my little kludge ... but I keep never getting around to it :-) HAND :-D -- David T-G See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/email/ See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/tofu.txt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
