A hostname you have registered with Dynamic Network Services at DynDNS.org, *masked*.dyndns.org, with current IP address *masked*, will expire in the next 5 days. This expiration is due to an automatic timeout; your host has not been updated for 30 days, and hosts are removed after not being updated for 35 days. This is our policy to prevent a stagnant DNS system. Users with static IP addresses can use the Static DNS system, which does not have this timeout.
You can "touch" your hostname and prevent it from being deleted simply by performing a manual, or forced, update. The system will not consider this single update abusive. If you wish to allow your hostname to expire, simply do nothing. You will receive a notification when this occurs. -----Original Message----- From: david raistrick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 10, 2004 8:49 AM To: Chris Green Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [gb-users] Buq/quirk in dynamic DNS service On Mon, 10 May 2004, Chris Green wrote: > I am using the Dynamic DNS built into the 3.5.1 on my GB200.

DynDNS doesn't allow you to update an unchanged address more frequently then every 28 days: http://www.dyndns.org/support/abuse.html "Updates should only be performed when your IP address has changed. Updates should not be performed on any timed interval, except every 28 days if your IP has not changed and you wish to prevent your Dynamic DNS hostname from expiring. " The firewall's dynamic dns client has to follow these rules. Did your notification from DynDNS include information on how long it had been since the last update? If it was longer then 28 days, you might consider contacting support. You can always force an update attempt (it will only update if your address has changed, though, or the 28 days is up..) by saving the network information section. -- David Raistrick Systems Administrator - Global Technology Associates, Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] Disclaimer: All opinions expressed are the opinions of David Raistrick, not necessarily those of GTA, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive: http://archives.gnatbox.com/gb-users/ __________ NOD32 1.754 (20040509) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.nod32.com ------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive: http://archives.gnatbox.com/gb-users/
