Bug Description
Binary package hint: ddclient
= Abstract
The debconf configuration wizard for ddclient offers a choice of network interfaces to monitor for their bound ip, but doesn't offer the configuration of using 'web'.
= Use Case
'web' tells ddclient not to use an ip bound to a network interface (if) but instead to make a GET call to the web and extract the external facing (i.e., gateway) ip from that for publication. This is the likely use case for >50% of ddclient users who would want to use the dyndns type services.
