	Using pacman, you can easily install and setup ddclient on 
HamVoip/ArchLinux and then pick your own free DDNS service to use. 
Here's one place to start looking for more info (search for more using 
"ddclient archlinux"):	https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=55975

	Doing it this way, your DDNS always reflects your node's current 
external IP, even if you take it on the road, or move, or use your phone 
as a hotspot, etc etc.

	Also, at least for the meantime, the volunteer(?) unsanctioned DDNS in 
the format:	99999.asnode.org (where 99999 is node#) still seems to be 
working automatically for registered/active nodes on-line. Not even sure 
if you can disable that.

	NB: Doug and David do not recommend relying upon ASNODE.ORG.
