[02] WHAT IS DYNAMIC DNS?
|
|
|
|
Dynamic DNS is basically an answer to someone who always wants
|
|
'xyz.com' to map to a changing IP address. Since there are a
|
|
limited number of IP addresses available, many providers will
|
|
assign their dialup, ISDN, DSL and cable subscribers an IP address
|
|
taken from a pool of addresses that will only be assigned to them
|
|
for the duration of their session. If your session is dropped or
|
|
you reset your connection, you have a chance of losing your IP
|
|
assignment.
|
|
|
|
By using dynamic updates, you can tell SDF your new IP address as
|
|
soon as you are assigned one and SDF will begin resolving your
|
|
MDNS hostname to your IP.
|
|
|
|
The default for mdns and currently what we offer our users is:
|
|
|
|
login.mdns.org - where login is your username.
|
|
|
|
You can run whatever services you wish to run on your host, keeping in
|
|
mind that you are bound not by SDF's AUP, but rather, your ISP's AUP.
