Would Vic's use of the DNS server be to allow opportunistic connections,
where the key is stored on the DNS server?  Presumably tinydns would
allow this?  Would it allow dynamic updates of your IP (and thus
eliminate a commercial dynamic DNS server subscription)?

I didn't quite understand what he was getting at in the original post, I
wonder if this is the real question?

Actually, my query is a lot lamer than what you guys thought (heheheh).
All really needed is if tinydns will suffice to supply what freeswan
needs so that I can
implement a successful VPN.
I'm still in the process of going through all the docs though. But
thanks anyway!
