Updating dynamic IP address in the DNS records using the nsupdate command requires not only technical knowledge but also other things like how to obtain the zone's records and so on.
IPv4 address is becoming scarce and companies are charging 2.5k or 5k per year for static IP but private enterprises are used to this. But all companies cannot afford and I wonder how long this will go on. I don't see any IPv6 being deployed and for a very long time to come dynamic IPs are going to be a reality. And if you run a VPN with multiple nodes how will you get to the node without knowing the static IP? Of course you don't have one. So? Yes, you have to use dynamic DNS but that does not come free even from dyndns.org. The solution is to either pay someone to do your own. Which is what I am planning to do. After I get it going I will let you know. Basically if you buy one domain, you can create 1000 subdomains for free. And if you get access to the zone's records you can manipulate the way you want with UNIX. -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech http://gayatri-hitech.com _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
