The one I use, freedns.afraid.org, requires almost no cooperation from your other infrastructure. I registered cyclone.h-o-s-t.name in the service, then added an IP-update cron job to the target machine: 43 02 * * * curl -s -o /dev/null http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?YOUR-BASE64-KEY The IP could stay wrong for nearly 24 hours, so this isn't perfect. It's far better than human-in-the-loop updates, anyway. I then added a CNAME covering the name by which I prefer to reference the machine: cyclone.leadboat.com. 7199 IN CNAME cyclone.h-o-s-t.name. _______________________________________________ Gcc-cfarm-users mailing list Gcc-cfarm-users@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/gcc-cfarm-users
