Re: Debian as a DDNS Server



Thanks, Camaleón.

I have the client side handled (router does that just fine). I had looked at bind9, but didn't figure out that it would do what I needed. Your link helps a lot.

What I would like to do is set up the system with the static IP address
to be a DDNS server, ala dyndns.org or similar.

The router on the dynamic ip system can be set up to automatically
notify someone when the ip changes, so that's not a problem.

What do I need on the static IP system to do this?  Are there packages
for Debian, or will I need to write my own?

On the server side, you basically need a DNS server with DDNS
capabilities (e.g., bind9). On the client side, a ddns client (e.g.,
ddclient). The problem will be setting up all those ;-)
