Functional Notes
SM
dyndns - The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname in
various domains. This allows your unit to be more easily accessed from various locations on the Internet.
This service is provided for up to five hostnames.
SM
dyndns-custom - DynDNS.org's Custom DNS service provides a full DNS solution, giving you complete
control over an entire domain name. A web-based interface provides two levels of control over your
domain, catering to average or advanced users. Five globally redundant DNS servers ensure that your
domain will always resolve.
A choice of two interfaces is available. The basic interface is designed for most users. It comes
preconfigured for the most common configuration and allows for easy creation of most common record
types. The advanced interface is designed for system administrators with a solid DNS background, and
provides layout and functionality similar to a BIND zone file allowing for the creation of nearly any record
type.
SM
Custom DNS can be used with both static and dynamic IPs and has the same automatic update
capability through Custom DNS-aware clients as Dynamic DNS.
dyndns-static - The Static DNS service is similar to Dynamic DNS service in that it allows a hostname such
as yourname.dyndns.org to point to your IP address. Unlike a Dynamic DNS host, a Static DNS host does
not expire after 35 days without updates, but updates take longer to propagate though the DNS system.
This service is provided for up to five hostnames.
