Title: using 2 yi.org (dynamicDNS) domains?
Post by: thomas on February 25, 2001, 06:48:42 PM

Hello folks,

thanks for the superior yi.org-support now in e-smith 4.1.1.
But how can I configure it to update more than 1 yi.org-domain names?

Thanks

Thomas

There is unlikely to be any need to set up dynamic DNS for both domains. Make one domain a CNAME for the other.

thanks for the fast reply.
but how can I do this while using only free dynamic DNS-services? I believe they don't have this feature available.
Any ideas?

Thanks

Thomas

What I am thinking of trying is this:

hosting the four or so domains with a provider called hammernode.org which will do that for free. They allow you to then point those domains - alias to something else. Usually a dynamic domain of theirs or an ip address. I think that what will work but have yet to prove is that I can point them all at the same dynamic dns account. The dynamic dns will work as normal. If I set up e-smith with an appropriate virtual domain  for each of the domains with an I-bay it should serve the correct site in each case. I think this was broken in 4.0 but fixed in 4.1.1 from my reading.

Cheers Paul

sounds good.
I have opened an account there and I'm trying it now.
Subdomains seem to work too.
The only problem was, that I needed a fully qualified domain name, but I had one parked out there ;-).

I wish I was as far ahead. I am just trying to get the hammernode dyndns script to work:-{)=thomas wrote:

I've just used my yi.org dyndns and made CNAMES for the real domain to that dynamic Domain.
Should work without any problems ... and works for me.
You can see it in action at myphorum.org ... nothing to see for now ;-).
