Multi-Homing Security Gateway User’s Manual
4.4.9.2 Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS function allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, allowing users
whose ISP does not assign them a static IP address to use a domain name. This is especially useful when
hosting servers via your WAN connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you may use your domain
name, rather than having to use a dynamic IP address that changes periodically. This dynamic IP address
is the WAN1/WAN2 IP address of the router, which is assigned to you by your ISP. Click Edit in the
Dynamic DNS Settings Table to set related parameters for a specific interface.
You will first need to register and establish an account with the Dynamic DNS provider using their website,
Example: DYNDNS
http://www.dyndns.org/
(MH-1000 supports several Dynamic DNS providers , such as www.dyndns.org , www.orgdns.org ,
www.dhs.org , www.dyns.cx , www.3domain.hk , www.zoneedit.com , www.3322.org , www.no-ip.com )
