It does? How? The daemon will be running on the Freebsd machine, which 
does not have the external ip address. I use dynamic dns services here 
and there but so far as I know they all require a daemon running on the 
machine which actually has the relevant dynamic address.

This is drifting slightly off-topic, but I'm interested to know.
