Are there scripts available to do what dyndns.org does at the server side? I have an OpenBSD box with a static ip address hosting a few domains. I'd like to setup several machines as subdomains that are behind dynamic ip addresses. I'd like to install something on the system with static ip address to provide the same service dyndns.org does, but cannot seem to find thos scripts. Frank

Register your own domain and use www.zoneedit.com for your name servers. ZoneEdit has the ability to make DNS changes based upon dynamic IP address changes. http://www.zoneedit.com/doc/dynamic.html? Zoneedit is free (as in, no charge) for the typical low-usage individual hosts. http://www.zoneedit.com/doc/faq.html#faq6 Also, ZoneEdit's infrastructure is pretty solid. http://www.zoneedit.com/doc/network.html (a satisfied customer of ZoneEdit for about four years now...)

Having used both ddclient and ipcheck.py, I greatly prefer ddclient for a couple reasons: 1. ddclient doesn't rely on crontabs or ppp.linkup scripts. It runs as a background perl process, checking every n seconds for a new IP address. Great for kernel PPPoE users. Can run as a regular user (not sure if that's post 3.8-RELEASE or not). 2. At least in 3.8-RELEASE, it is less likely to trigger repeat (ie, abusive) updates. Not sure what happened to ipcheck.py between 3.7 (used ipcheck.py here with userland PPPoE and ppp.linkup) and 3.8 to make it abusive, but something (kernel PPPoE + crontab?) did. 3. ddclient will send you an email any time it actually does something (true update, keep-alive update, system shutdown, error)

Re: httpd question - solved
I will have to update ServerName each time I get a new IP address. Dave Feustel i have been running apache on openbsd since 2.9 on a dynamic IP and have never had to do any of this. #grep ServerName /var/www/conf/httpd.conf ServerName neotrance.dyndns.org If you get your IP dynamically from you ISP, your IP can potentially change every max-lease-time This will handle the pesty case of your IP changing. 1. dyndns.org - get a free subdomain to map to your IP. 2. ddclient package - updates your DNS whenever your IP changes. Although the package just copies over the perl script, I add a user/group _ddclient. If you are still running 3.8-release, consider creating a folder /etc/ddclient, chown / chgrp and move the conf , cache and pid file to that folder. -current already does this for you (at least, the folder part. I don't think the @newuser, @newgroup will be added since people not running in daemon mode don't need it) before you ask, -current's dhclient does not support hooks. -Keith Richardson
