I've started using OpenDNS on my network, the problem is, my router gets an dynamic IP, which means I have to regularly update the OpenDNS settings.

DDClient apparently supports OpenDNS, but the Ubuntu package for it asks for various details I don't know, and can't find. I'd rather not have to boot up a Windows computer just for this.

So I've got two questions, I guess - first is, are any of the Windows clients known to work under Wine (that can retrieve the IP from the router and forward it), and the second being, how exactly do you set up DDClient to use OpenDNS?

Thanks.

I don't have a machine with ddclient handy, what is it asking for exactly? I can't see how it could ask anything that would require booting windows... Need to have more detailed information to provide you assistance.

It asks for the server to connect to, giving the example of members.dyndns.org (I think) which I don't know the OpenDNS equiv for.

There's actually a fairly good article about that on their support database: http://www.opendns.com/support/article/192

Well damn. I must have missed that somehow. It got it working, now with a regular cron job to update it, I've got it going. Thanks.
