Can I get more detail on how this works, 'cause I'm really skeptical. If
you're really saying the DynamicDNS services are doing web redirection,
I'll buy it. But if my application tries to do a socket connect to
foo.bar.com port 80, resolver won't change the port number on me after
doing the lookup.
