Topic: Dynamic DNS update

[Wesley]

Does anyine know the "shedule" that the E-Smith server uses with regard to DynamicDNS updates?

Does the DynDNS client update the remote DNS everytime the computer starts? Is there anyway to control how frequently thr client updates the remote DNS ?

[Andrew Roberts]

To my knowledge, the server detects that the external IP has changed and runs the script to update the DynDNS servers.  If your IP address does not change, then the script will not be run.

Actually, the update script runs regardles of the IP change every week on Sunday early morning. There is a cron job set up in /etc/cron.weekly called refresh-ddns.

This is causing problems with my dyndns.org account. They consider it as an abuse if the IP record for domain updates more frequently then once in 28 days (if there is no change in IP address). Recenly one of my domains was blocked for this reason.
