I've plugged it before, and I'll plug it again: everydns.net is free, has a perl and win32 exe update client, that you just have to cron/schedule, allows you to control all your domains, and include records for all of them. Of course ,if you have a reason to run a full DNS server at home, great. But for me, one alias points home, another to a hosted server, another to a friend's server. The only drawback: all of your dynamic names/domains point to the single allowed update client. So if I wanted a second dynamic domain pointing somewhere other than home, I would have to set up a second everydns account for it.

DynDNS's CustomDNS which lets you choose whatever DNS name you want and run it under dynamic DNS is a wee pricy at $30.00 a year to essentially do what I just described. > > Thx, > > Josh > > > > _______________________________________________ > TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org > Got pictures for TCLUG?
