Sending a snapshot link via a server-schedule path issue

I'm curious to know if anyone has encountered this issue...

Background:

I have a script scheduled to run from server whereby a snapshot link (SNL) is created and sent to recipients to allow them quick access to a determined set of records. The script runs perfectly and the SNL is created, attached and emailed just fine with one exception..

The problem:

Since the script is run server-side, the SNL is coded with the LAN IP of the server: 10.x.x.x. The emails (and SNL) are sent to users who access the database over the WAN. As a result, the SNL won't work for these users. To complicate things even further, I have a dynamic IP and use DynDNS.

Besides rolling my own custom created SNL, is there a way to force the path stored in the native SNL to be the one used when accessing the FMP solution over the WAN?

Thanks,

Aaron

Snapshot links can't be created with any custom parameters. It would be interesting to experiment with rolling your own, it appears to be a straightforward XML format.
