DDNS with BIND

pcmilhouse · 10-12-2006, 10:24 AM

Is it possible to configure BIND to act like an external DDNS. I want to manage dynamic IP address of some clients on internet...

Thanks

bind can be used for dynamic dns. Read this to see how you can configure bind and this for the "nsupdate" usage.

Thank you for your reply.
But I need DDNS on internet without DHCP and 'nsupdate'.
My clients send to a server (DDNS server I have to do) their actual IP address every 2 minutes and I have to configure DDNS to resolve their address name in their actual IP.
Is it possible?

OK, how do your clients send their IPs to your server? You can write a script, so once you get the IPs change your zone file and then use "rndc reload zone" to update your records.

Clients send their IP every two minutes to a server on a specified port (7577). I think to do a service listening on this port and when IP arrives from a client and it is changed I update my zone.
Is it possible?

Thank you very much for your support
