For argument sake, what if that site disappears, or changes the format of their response, then you have a hard coded solution that becomes null and void. Maybe a command like that, but have several so there can be a straw poll to see which one is valid and make an informed decision based on that. ------------------------- I am not saying we use ipaddresslocation.org as the actual service. I am simply pointing out that this can be done using an alternative means. An HTTP page can be easily hosted anywhere. Perhaps http://www.sipfoundry.org/whatismyip where we can install our own page without the ads. _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users/
