4.4.7.2 Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS)

Overview
Dynamic DNS allows binding of domain names to hosts with dynamically assigned IP
addresses by a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server and updates the name
server with the new information about the host or the network. This is particularly
useful for broadband users to use Internet services, such as FTP, Hyper Text Transfer
Protocol (HTTP), and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), on their local hosts
connected to the broadband network. Dynamic DNS allows access to such hosts
connected to the broadband networks using a domain name to exchange files, send
and receive email with highly personalized email addresses, and host a website.
To provide such support for the feature described above, a client is installed in the host
that directs Internet traffic to the domain. The client updates the IP address of the host,
whenever the host renegotiates the IP address for any reason. The Router reference
software allows users to configure the following dynamic DNS servers for DDNS
service:
•
DynDNS.org: A free DNS service for hosts with dynamic IP addresses.
TZO: A service provider providing paid dynamic and static DNS services.
•
To use one of the providers mentioned above requires the users to register with the
dynamic DNS service provider the information about the host and the installed client
software on the host which can update the service provider with the IP address and the
domain name information.
