8 Configuring DDNS

Dynamic DNS is a service that allows computers to use the same domain

name, even when the IP address changes from time to time (during reboot

or when the ISP’s DHCP server resets IP leases).The router connects to a

Dynamic DNS service whenever the WAN IP address changes. It supports

setting up the web services such as Web server, and FTP server using a

domain name instead of the IP address. Dynamic DNS supports the DDNS

clients with the following features:

• Update DNS records (addition) when an external interface comes up
• Force DNS update

HTTP Dynamic DNS Client

HTTP DDNS client uses the mechanism provided by the popular DDNS

service providers for updating the DNS records dynamically. In this case,

the service provider updates DNS records in the DNS. The router uses

HTTP to trigger this update.
The router supports HTTP DDNS update with the following service

providers:

• www.dyndns.org
• www.zoneedit.com
• www.dns-tokyo.jp
