Re: Dynamic IP Address Capture



This is because of the new privacy and accountability bills going through
parliment, any telco by next year must have some form of monitoring and
accountability of what there uses are viewing and also must store all
emails for 10 years or something like that.

I have a feeling this is going to be a common problem. I'd have a second
virtual server listening on a non standard port (hopefully the ISP cache
works on ports not content) with an image (even 1 pixel square) on the
other
port- this would/should let you get the real IP.
