I know of two ways: 1) drop radvd usage and use dhcpv6 (dibbler works) then you are using dhcp all the way and that also supports the ddns options. This makes it fully server-side, that is the dhcp server updates your dns. 2) Client side, by using nsupdate and having some manual scripting eg using the nsupdate command. I once cooked the following up for Windows boxes: http://unfix.org/~jeroen/archive/Windows_DynamicDNS_Update.zip It's the update.cmd script which is important. One just has to pass the correct stuff to the nsupdate command and have the key on the local box which needs to do the updates. This thus directly updates the DNS at the server side and needs quite some configging. eg: server 2001:db8::53 update delete hostname.example.org AAAA update add hostname.example.org AAAA 2001:db8::42 send updates hostname.example.org's current IP address to 2001:db8::42 when passing that o nsupdate. I got off doing ddns though as it gives a mess when one nicely types the zone files manually. If you have a db that is not a worry. The solution though is simple: use a ddns.example.org domain and have hostname.example.org CNAME hostname.ddns.example.org and have the updates be sent to ddns.example.org, that only peeps up the ddns zone.
