I didn't have to specifically configure forwarders, but the DNS servers for the server were pointing to Superreal. Does that help?

Shoot, that last one slipped... Sorry. :-P --- Well, this may not be "help" is the best sense, but maybe it will help me understand the question better. Dynamic Updates in the Domain Name System (DNS UPDATE): http://rfc.sunsite.dk/rfc/rfc2136.html Is this what you're referring to? Hmmm, as far as Win2K DNS goes, do you have forwarders enabled, and are they pointing to the Superreal nameservers?

I was asking a couple people at the Installfest how to update my DNS host with my dynamic IP address. I was directed to the client scripts at www.dyndns.org. I took a look through those, but it appears all of them require an account with DynDNS themselves (or another similar service). However, this is not my case. I've posted this before, but for the sake of completeness, I'll reiterate the problem: I have DNS hosting through Superreal.com (srns1.superreal.net, and srns2.superreal.net). If I configure DNS on my Win2K server, it updates Superreal properly. However, I now have the W2K server behind a Linux firewall. The IP address that gets reported/updated now is an internal 192.168.x.x address. So, it would appear I need to move my DNS server to my Linux router (it's a RH8 bare bones installation, with Bind). Not being that experienced with DNS at this level, I need some guidance. I think I have to treat my Bind installation as a primary, and have it update a Superreal as a slave. I'm not 100% sure this is the solution to my problem, but it's the next logical step I can see. Can anyone tell me if I'm out to lunch with this approach, or if it is the right approach, how to proceed? (even a web resource would be greatly appreciated). Thanks for the help! And what a coincidence that Jason's post appeard while I was typing this.... LOL Shawn Grover
