To use this service, you must register with the Dynamic DNS service provider. The Dynamic DNS service provider will give you a password or key. The ZyWALL supports www.dyndns.org. You can apply to this service provider for Dynamic DNS service.

5.3.1DYNDNS Wildcard

Enabling the wildcard feature for your host causes *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same IP address as yourhost.dyndns.org. This feature is useful if you want to be able to use for example, www.yourhost.dyndns.org and still reach your hostname.
