Thanks, I figured there would be scripts for the BSD side, the PPoE ADSL FreeBSD box I have out there automatically e-mails me it's address when it changes or reboots but I'm hoping to make get the other devices (Netgear, Linksys) addresses too. We map inbound ports for remote support on these. Dropping FreeBSD boxes out there would be nice but the Netgears are easier to source and configure for the local user should one blow up. > > At 09:25 PM 3/4/2003 -0800, you wrote: > >I have a static IP and a number of remotes with Cable or ADSL access. > >Remotes have FreeBSD, or router firewalls ala Linksys, Netgears. > > > >To make support/access easier can I set up my own Dynamic DNS server on > >the static address and have those remotes register their IP's with it > >when they change ? > >Thanks in Advance -Jay. > > __________________________________________________________ Get your FREE personalized e-mail at http://www.canada.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
