Hi all. I have setup a webserver for myself. I have all the ports forwarded nicely so direct access to my IP:80 will show it (currently just a bog-standard "Apache" page). I have created a dyndns.org account, and that works. Now all I want is to be able to update my dyndns DNS entry when my IP address changes. Easy enough, you'd think. I have 2 routers, and therefore 2 layers of NAT. One of my routers is an IPCop box (currently running 1.3.x) which supports dyndns.org's dynamic DNS system... however, it updates their records with it's own RED address, which doesn't help since that isn't my publicly visible address. So, I downloaded "ddclient" (one of dyndns's suggested Linux clients), and I have set it up to do a webcheck and update periodically. However, it updates regardless of whether the IP address has changed or not... and so I was blocked earlier today. Does anyone know of a dynamic DNS client that supports webchecking and updates only if the IP has changed, and is preferably written in Perl or a bash script that doesn't depend on curl of wget?
