If you go back to read earlier messages in the thread, you'll see: Dyndns requires that you "update" your info every 30 to 35 days or they will cancel your account, but that they don't want you updating more often if your IP is constant. So no, we don't want to do a daily check or an hourly check. A daily check might be a good idea, but only if it included a check to see that the IP is different, or sufficient time has elapsed since the last update to comply with the policies of the DDNS service. Implementing such checks is on our TODO list. -- Charlie Brady [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lead Product Developer Network Server Solutions Group http://www.e-smith.com/ Mitel Networks Corporation http://www.mitel.com/ Phone: +1 (613) 368 4376 or 564 8000 Fax: +1 (613) 564 7739 -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
