I don't believe that this will work with the Newton. I
don't know how dyndns works, but I think that an app
needs to be loaded on the server...Laurent knows this
for sure because he uses it.
In order to serve individualy from two seperate IPs,
you will need to update the DNS to point the the
respective IP whenever you switch...and with some DNS
servers taking up to 72 hours to propagate and some
caching servers holding DNS information for as long as
9 days (sometimes even longer) it would be pointless
to do this. My suggestion is that you have ANOTHER
server on each of the IPs. Turn off hosting when you
are at that site and redirect from the other IP to the
primary site...then just switch when you move. It will
be a pain, but it should work. Youll need three
servers for this to work...two desktop servers and
your NPDS.
