Functional Notes

dyndns - The Dynamic DNSSM service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname in

various domains. This allows your unit to be more easily accessed from various locations on the Internet.

This service is provided for up to five hostnames.

dyndns-custom -

DynDNS.org's Custom DNSSM service provides a full DNS solution, giving yo u complete

control over an entire domain name. A web-based interface provides two levels of control over your

domain, catering to a verage or power users. Five globally redundant DNS servers en sure that your domain

will always resolve.

A choice of two interfaces is available. The basi c interface is designed for most users. It comes

preconfigured for the most common configuration and allows for easy creation of most common record

types. The advanced interface is designed for system administrators with a solid DNS background, and

provides layout and functionality similar to a BIND zone file allowing for the creation of nearly any record

type.

Custom DNSSM can be used with both static and dynamic IPs, and has the same automatic update

capability through Custom DNS-aware clients as Dynamic DNS.

dyndns-static -

The Static DNS service is similar to Dynamic DNS service, in that it allows a hostname

such as yourname.dyndns.org to point to your IP address. Unlike a Dynamic DNS host, a Static DNS host

does not expire after 35 days without updates, but updates take longer to propagate though the DNS

system. This service is provided for up to five hostnames.
