The Router supports DDNS, a
service that maps Internet
domain names to IP addresses.
DDNS serves a similar purpose
to DNS in that DDNS allows
anyone hosting a Web or FTP
server to advertise a public
name to prospective users.
Unlike DNS that only works with
static IP addresses, DDNS
works with dynamic IP
addresses, such as those
assigned by an ISP or other
DHCP server.

DDNS is popular with home networkers, who typically receive dynamic,
frequently-changing IP addresses from their service provider. To use DDNS, one
simply signs up with a provider and installs network software on their host to
monitor its IP address.
