The only thing I can suggest, other than modifying the GnuDIP code, is to specify a script of your own for the "nsupdate" parameter in "gnudip.conf".
This script (which can just be a shell script - no need for Perl) would have to parse the input for nsupdate, then pass the same input to the real nsupdate command, and then depending on what it found from the parsing, do whatever else needs to be done. The input that GnuDIP generates for nsupdate is pretty simple. First try writing a script that just grabs and logs the input using "logger", and then calls the real nsupdate. Then add what you need. Or perhaps someone else on this list would like to provide this as a starting point? How about posting this to the list afterwards? I think this general technique could have many uses. I'll put it on the site somewhere. > > List: gnudip2-general > Subject: Re[3]: [GnuDIP] Updating other files, not only DNS > From: Hadad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2002-06-24 20:47:09 > [Download message RAW] > > > Hello Damien, > > Monday, June 24, 2002, 10:02:57 AM, you wrote: > > DM> Hi Hadad, > > DM> What I have done for my server is setup a 5 minute cron job which checks my > DM> current IP, and when it changes it will run certain scripts, and update > DM> bind and various other things. > > DM> My script is based on ddns.nu's implementation of ddns, and the script is > DM> available from there: www.ddns.nu, > DM> >http://www.ddns.nu/files/contrib/bpa-check.pl?PHPSESSID=adc63697883a5dbe6e3983eaf6c053b8 > > DM> This script would be easily modified to work with the ddns provider that > DM> you are using for your server, or however you have your IP changing. > > DM> What Creighton does is setup hooks for the DHCP lease, which is just as > DM> good as setting up a cronjob... > > DM> Let me know if you have any problems, > > DM> Damien > > I don't know if I really understand what you say (sorry, but my > english is very poor). > > But see, in my case, the situation is very unusual... > > I have a domain and 2 servers.
