Hi there ! Some of the "small" routers (800) seem to have learned DynDNS - but what about the bigger models or even PIX/ASA? As my consumer DSL router really begins to suck, I'm thinking about using the planned ASA 5505 as the DSL gateway. But how can I do the DynDNS update then? Yes, there are clients for various OSes but that would imply digging out the WAN address etc. The best place is the router itself - and if the ASA speaks PPPoE, why doesn't it speak DynDNS? Regards fw
Well, I use ZoneEdit DNS, which the Linksys routers don't support. I have a little client service installed on my computer called DynDNS from Sitedevelopers (http://www.sitedevelopers.com). It monitors the public IP address on my router and updates ZoneEdit when that public IP address changes. It was a fifteen dollar program and supports quite a long list of dynamic DNS hosting services including ZoneEdit. There is a free trial version which only supports one domain or subdomain if you want to evaluate it. Regards, Fred
