Hello

DidI understand You correctly:
You have a static ( non dynamic ip) but want to use adynamic name e.g. www.dyndns.org ( free service) or www.dyndns.com (commercial)

Next: make sure you have a public ip: your ISP is not blocking any ports.
Go to the page were you register your domain, what you want.
1st possible solution:
when installing the server( dont remember about configuring;) haven't done it quite a while) it asks for a domain name you type in what you registered. example: you.dyndns.org the next step is it asks if you want to use a dynamic dns, if you registered in one of those listed in setup, select it.. so even if your ip should change for a wierd reason, the name points still to your server.

finish setup and you are done :D

2nd solution: using virtual doamins in server manager
go to your servers server-manager open the virtual domains panel and there add a new virtual domain. configure it, save it and that should be it.

hope this helps

Hernan,

Also consider purchasing or transfering your domain to registerfly.com.  Registerfly provides you full dns/name server control through the web login and it is included if you purchase/transfer your domain to registerfly.

Another good one is godaddy.com, but registerfly is a little cheaper and has more DNS functionality available.

EasyDNS.com is another good one.
Get the RPM here

Not to mention zoneedit.com! If your domain name is already registered with a provider you can use ZoneEdit's DNS management for free.

I've done a script for e-smith to update entries on ZoneEdit. If anyone's interested drop me an email.

Title: EZ ipupdate as a daemon?
Post by: mike mattos on January 05, 2004, 05:18:21 PM

Is ez-ipupdate supposed to update IP's automatically?  An earlier post suggested running it as a daemon, I though that was the deafult and now wonder if my installation needs to be changed ?

( a new IP wasn't registered )

thanks

choose dynamic dns -- choose custom -- edit or create the custom file in /sbin/e-smith/dynamic-dns folder
example custom file below
-cut-

#!/bin/sh
# Description: www.zoneedit.com (free service)

#------------------------------------------------------------
# Send DNS IP address update to zoneedit.com.
#------------------------------------------------------------

IPADDR=$1
USERID=$2
PASSWD=$3
DOMAIN=$4



wget -q -O /tmp/zoneedit.log --http-user=$USERID --http-passwd=$PASSWD 'https://dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=www.$DOMAIN, ftp.$DOMAIN, mail.$DOMAIN'  
logger -t zoneedit.com cat /tmp/zoneedit.log

exit 0
