I was wondering if there were any utilities to modify an MX file for routing when a dynamic IP changes. i.e. I have a dynamic connection, but I have a server running in TX that is static. It is essential that for a short period of time, I run some things in-house in NJ. So, if my IP changes, I want to update the MX file in TX. Is there anything out there that would help me?
You could always register with DynDNS then run one of their scripts (like ddup) on your server that updates their DNS if your IP changes. Mine runs every 15mins from cron
