Hello everybody:

Situation:cisco router which protects little lan; lan with a linux server and a lot of linux/windows client.

Router is accessible via internet but i've no control on it and it automatically changes ip every day. I can only access via ssh but ssh requests are redirect on linux server

I'd want this goal:Admin server linux at home via ssh. It is simple if you know router's ip that redirect you on server but it changes!!

My solution: i thought to send an email to a fake account from the linux server so, when the mail arrives, router's ip is inside it. Make a perl script which connect to pop server of fake account probably with Mail::BOX::Pop3 module (which i've never used), get the message and bring the router's IP and then send it to my personal account...

My question:I thinks it is not good... Is there a module which can do that directly?

Note that i've no control on router and when i telnet on it from the lan there is a testual menu' which lets me to admin it parameters but i've not enough experience to manage them...
