can be guided by the table above to ﬁnd a host name which fulﬁlls the requirements and meets

the personal taste.

For the conﬁguration you will need the following data:

• Name of the provider

• Username

• Password

• DynDNS-hostname

The Data my vary with the provider while we try to provide a consistent conﬁguration.

Sometimes the hostname equals to the username, in such cases we will try to use the Host-ﬁeld

and ignore the username.

OPT_DYNDNS Setting this to 'yes' activates OPT_DYNDNS.

DYNDNS_SAVE_OUTPUT By activating this with 'yes' the result of the DynDNS query

will be saved to a ﬁle shown by the webserver

DYNDNS_N Change this value if you have accounts with more DynDNS providers and there-

fore want to update several names with every dial-in.

DYNDNS_x_PROVIDER Specify the name of the provider (see table above and hints in the

conﬁg ﬁle).

DYNDNS_x_USER Your username for the DynDNS provider. Mostly an email address, a

name you choose for yourself when registering or the DynDNS hostname.

DYNDNS_x_PASSWORD Your passwort for the DynDNS account. Be aware to keep your

secret!

DYNDNS_x_HOSTNAME The complete DynDNS hostname for the account. Examples:

• cool.nerdcamp.net

• user.dyndns.org

• fli4luser.fli4l.net

DYNDNS_x_UPDATEHOST For the provider PHPDYN specify here on which host the

updater is installed. You need this because of PHPDYN not being a real provider but

only a gpl’d script actualizing a PowerDNS Server with MySQL.

DYNDNS_x_CIRCUIT Set the circuits for which dialing in should update the hostname.

Circuits are separated by spaces. It may be useful to update hostnames only when

dialing in via DSL. Some examples:

OPT_HTTPD
