Dynamic DNS update clients

i am running mandrake 10.0 offical power pack i have installed a bind dns server and have webmin added but have given up on setting up this server. i have a windows server running and have DynSite running on it keeping sites dns on that server updated. question is can i use the windows dynamic DNS update client to keep the sites on my linux box up to date or do i need to install a linux dynamic DNS update client. thanks

Hi,

I am a bit of a newbie myself, but I am working on this problem right now.

I am using a Linux Dynamic DNS update client to keep my various domain names at DynDNS.org pointed at the dynamic IP provided by my ISP. Is this what you are trying to do?

I have been using http://encodable.com/tech/eponym/ to do this.

It required some updates to my Perl setup - but it led me very carefully through this and was not an issue: in fact it will probably be useful elsewhere. I am struggling to automate it - but that is a result of me not knowing enough about how to set up rc scripts.

That said, if your windows machine is always on I don't see why it cannot do the job. The work is to touch the config on the DNS server itself at DynDNS. That is if you need the same thing as me.

Cheers

Tim.
