+ Testing
+
+ noip provides a handy way for testing network servers and so on
+ safely. For a start, you can run your test server apparently on
+ the same port as the real one. Because noip consults the
+ environment variable NOIP_SOCKETDIR to find out where to put its
+ sockets, you can run two at a time and they don't interfere.
+ And noip doesn't care what port numbers your program tries to
+ bind, so you don't need to jump through stupid hoops in order to
+ test programs which use `privileged' ports.
+
+ Other applications
+
+ There are certainly loads of handy things you can do with noip.
+ If you think of one, let me know!
