Hi there, |
2 |
|
3 |
I currently have a DSL connection with a fixed IP using a DSL router, |
4 |
with an internal network of 4 computers with private DHCP IPs (except |
5 |
the server, with fixed private IP). Now I'm considering changing to |
6 |
another provider with dynamic IPs. I have three domains hosted in my |
7 |
SOHO server (let's say example1.com, example2.com and example3.com) |
8 |
including mail for two of them. The questions are: |
9 |
|
10 |
1. Which dynamic DNS provider do you prefer and why (I would prefer a free one)? |
11 |
2. Which is the best dynamic DNS client available in Gentoo, taking |
12 |
into accout that it must be able to discover the DSL router's |
13 |
dynamically assigned IP and connect with the chosen provider? |
14 |
|
15 |
I would like to be able to keep my domain names, but using a dynamic |
16 |
IP DSL connection, this is, I don't want to change to any URL like |
17 |
example.no-ip.com or example.dyndns.org. So I thought I could just add |
18 |
some CNAMEs entries to my DNS service (kind of www.example1.com CNAME |
19 |
example.dyndns.org and mail.example1.com CNAME example.dyndns.org) to |
20 |
get what I want, but here: |
21 |
|
22 |
http://www.dyndns.org/services/dns/ |
23 |
|
24 |
they say the free service doesn't support using your own domain |
25 |
names... does this mean that you must pay if you want to include your |
26 |
own domain name in their DNS servers, but the whole CNAME stuff should |
27 |
work if you have a DNS service available elsewhere? Has anyone ever |
28 |
tried this? |

Thanks in advance, best regards |
