 Well... the dynamic DNS isn't too much of a hassle -- other than the
fact that U-verse routers don't include software to update the DDNS system
(unlike my older DSL routers which included configuration pages for dynamic
DNS service). As a result, I have to run a CRON job to periodically pester
the DDNS so it can link my router IP to the domain name. And that leaves a
residue file on each update -- so I have another CRON job that deletes the
residue files when they are something like two days old. I tried
configuring the CRON job to direct stdout/stderr to the bit-bucket but
doesn't seem to take or the residue file is not stdout/stderr of the task
itself.
