Apart from the obvious configuration things you'll have some other things to keep in mind, like who is doing the DHCP negotiation for the IP address? If the router is, it must be able to interact with the dynamic dns service, otherwise you get into having to script something on the server side to fetch the ip info from the router and connect to the remote ip address when a change takes place. I don't think you'll find a free service that allows for hosting your own name... Trust me, the small fee for dyndns.org is worth it to keep things working. With the fee in place whenever my ip address changes I can ping dyndns.org to have the ip address change and, so far, I have no complaints about it at all. As for the software, look for ez-ipupdate. It handles most of the dynamic dns sites including dyndns.org and others. In any case ez-ipupdate might be a good source for dynamic dns services; if ez-ipupdate handles it then it's typically a good service. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
