Domain Name System (DNS) Services

Dynamic DNS

Your device's IP address may change, and such changes are not always under

your control. For example, your router may receive a dynamic address from

your Internet service provider (ISP). When a device's address changes, DNS

servers will no longer be able to resolve its hostname, and customers will not

be able to access the device.

In order to map a dynamic IP address with a static hostname, you should

The ProCurve Secure Router supports a client that is compatible with

Dynamic Networking Services, Inc. (www.dyndns.org), or DynDNS. The

client runs on a router interface. It automatically notifies DynDNS whenever

the interface's IP address changes, and DynDNS propagates the change

throughout its system of DNS servers.

DynDNS provides several types of services:

Depending on the service you select, you can register a hostname in one of

the domains provided by DynDNS or in your own domain.

Dynamic DNS is a free service that allows you to map dynamic addresses to

up to five hostnames. You must register hostnames in one of 68 set domains.

(See http://www.dyndns.org/services/dns/dyndns/domains.html for a list

of available domains.)

The client running on the ProCurve Secure Router interface automatically

updates DynDNS when the interface's IP address changes. (If DynDNS does

not receive at least one update every 35 days, it deletes the hostname.)

DynDNS provides five globally redundant DNS servers to ensure that your

hostname will always resolve.

Dynamic DNS is primarily designed for private users. For commercial appli-

cations, you should probably purchase an account upgrade or Custom DNS.
