</div>

The only way I think now is use web page display and pass display ID at the link. Change the content according to display ID.

The other way is track the IP at web page, match the IP at display DB, then display the name/content.

But since IP might be dynamic, it is not a solid method.

Any other suggestion is welcome.

The first method is tested O.K.

So, is there system variable can pass as variable to identify the display ?

You should be able to use the API to lookup the display based on IP in your database. Look into the API, they’re SOAP based and relatively easy to use.
