We have a few customers on dynamic IP addresses that we would like to be able to connect to remotely. If we lead the customer through the procedure to find their IP address and tell us then it all works fine but I'd like something a bit smoother. The customers in this case are charities and other very low budget organisations so even then extra $10/month for a static IP address isn't feasible.
I have a bind9 server, can that make use of standard dyndns protocols somehow (even via a separate daemon)?
Or anything option would be good too. I'm getting a lot of noise on google when I try and search. How are you giving out IP addresses? DHCP? PPPoE? Whatever you're using, you should be able to trigger a dynamic DNS update using the ip-up or equivalent script. It's been years since I've looked into it, but it should be feasible. IIRC, I did actually get something similar working once, several years back.
