Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ddclient

= Abstract

The debconf configuration wizard for ddclient offers a choice of network
interfaces to monitor for their bound ip, but doesn't offer the
configuration of using 'web'.

= Use Case

'web' tells ddclient not to use an ip bound to a network interface (if)
but instead to make a GET call to the web and extract the external
facing (i.e., gateway) ip from that for publication. This is the likely
use case for >50% of ddclient users who would want to use the dyndns
type services.

= Howto

See
http://www.dyndns.com/support/kb/using_ddclient_with_dyndns_services.html
for /etc/ddclient.conf settings
