Hi All,
I'm looking for a DDNS package that I can setup on a CentOS 5 server for potentially thousands of devices deployed at thousands of sites world wide. I have had a quick look at Bind9, which I think may buckle under this load if deployed by itself. I have also looked gnudip, but would like some feedback on how easy it is to setup and maintain, also any other packages people have used.
Normally dynamic DNS works something like this: curl http://dyndns.org/update.cgi -F domain=foo.example.net -F password=UNPRINTABLE -F address=1.2.3.4 Since you're talking about bind as a solution, I guess you're basically talking about implementing an alternative to dyndns.org (i.e. the hub) rather than a dyndns client (i.e. the spokes) ? In that case, why are you talking about bind? You're not thinking of clients pushing updates to the hub via NOTIFY + IXFR, are you? Because I don't see how that could possibly work.
