Topic: hammernode dynamic dns

[paul chubb]

I wanted to use hammernode (www.hn.org) for dynamic dns because it allowed me to host real domains for free. E-smith doesn't have a script for this so I created a custom script as follows:

#!/bin/sh
# Description: hn.org (free service)
#------------------------------------------------------------
# Send DNS IP address update to hn.org. Ignore DOMAIN
# parameter since hn uses mapping in dns to go from domain to subdomain
#------------------------------------------------------------
IPADDR=$1
USERID=$2
PASSWD=$3
DOMAIN=$4

lynx -source -auth="$USERID:$PASSWD" "http://dup.hn.org/vanity/update?VER=1?IP=$IPADDR"

This is essentially the yi.org script with the lynx command changed to match hn's api. The api is documented under the client's link under the dynamic dns overview.

Enjoy....
