Re: setting up my own dyndns like server

Hi Oliver,

in case you want something simple, homebrewn: * apt-get install pdns-backend-mysql (or sqlite etc) * Set up your domain in the domains and records tables (ttl as low as required)
* Make sure no firewall blocks port 53
* Test it using "host -a yourdyndomain.net your-freshly-setup-nameserver.org"
* Quick-hack a
http://dyndns.mydomain.org/[scriptinglanguage-of-your-choice].html script to fetch a DNS update request via http * Update the required a-record in your SQL database from "REMOTE_ADDR" or the IP address passed in the request. * Make sure you have some sort of authentication so not every one will update your records at will ;-)

Cheers,
Norbert.
