This list is hardly complete # as there are many, many different dynamic dns services. # If your service is on the list you can merely specify it with the # "service_name" option. Otherwise you will need to determine # the format of the url to update with. You can either add an # entry to the "/usr/lib/ddns/services" or "services_ipv6" file # or specify this with the "update_url" option. # If your ddns provider doesn't work with ddns-scripts because # there are additional parameters or other special thinks to be done, # then you could write your own script to send updates to your ddns provider. # Have a look into /usr/lib/ddns/update_sample.sh # The script is specified in "update_script" # Either set "service_name" or one of "update_url" and "update_script" # default: none option service_name "dyndns.org" # sample: # "http://[USERNAME]:[PASSWORD]@members.dyndns.org/nic/update?hostname=[DOMAIN]&myip=[IP]" # option update_url "" # sample: # "/usr/lib/ddns/update_sample.sh" # option update_script "" ########### # You must specify your domain/host name, your username and your password # as you get from you DDNS provider.
