Piece o' cake. :) Run this script periodically (say, as a cron job): ===== #!/bin/sh # # Script to update ZoneEdit DNS UN="ZoneEditUserName" PW="ZoneEditPassword" HN="FQDN.host.name" lynx -source -auth=$UN:$PW 'http://dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=$HN' ===== Edit the three variables to suit. The DN variable should be a hostname that has an 'A' record in ZoneEdit's DNS. You'll need lynx installed too, of course. This will send an HTTP page request which will cause ZoneEdit's web server to automatically determine your 'true' IP address (from the data in the request itself), and then update ZoneEdit's DNS for the specified hostname to point to that IP address.
