Ok guys, something new and exciting to think about ... Got a nasty gram from DynDNS today ... Seems they do not like the way that Astlinux is handling registration with them ... If I understand the note correctly, they have blocked future registration from this server ...
The machine I am dealing with here is the one that I keep at home to link me to my main office ... Unfortunately, my home setup is behind a Cox cable modem with a single dynamic IP address so this is an important feature to me ... The server is a LEX NEO box with 3xRealtec NIC's on the motherboard ... It is pretty vanilla and has no PCI cards in it ... It acts as my router/firewall and as a slave to my main office Astlinux server ... It runs Astlinux 0.4.4 in router/firewall mode ... I am presently using the ASTFW firewall feature set ... I upgraded this one to 0.4.4 only about a week ago ... Something new and exciting in the dynamic dns registration piece ??????? G.Hendershot START MSG FROM DYNDNS ******************************* A hostname you had registered with Dynamic Network Services, Inc. (DynDNS), ghend-pbx.homeip.net, has been deleted from our systems. This hostname has been deleted a week after the last legitimate update prior to its blocking. Our policies forbid multiple successive updates from the same IP address for performance and resource-conservation purposes; such updates have no function, and use resources which could better serve others. If you are using a hardware router's built-in update functionality, it is most likely not properly functional; we recommend that you contact your router's manufacturer regarding this issue and ask them to contact us for assistance correcting their products to interface properly with our systems. Until such a time that you see an announcement on our site about your specific router functioning properly with our systems, we recommend using a software client from <http://www.dyndns.com/support/clients/ <http://www.dyndns.com/support/clients/> > instead, and being certain to disable the update functionality of your router. You can re-create this hostname at your convenience, and we suggest that you re-examine your update procedures and read our abuse policy at http://www.dyndns.com/support/abuse.html <http://www.dyndns.com/support/abuse.html> for further clarification.
