DynDNS Clients
I have SSH opened on an external port to make my home network available to me when I am at work or on the road. Instead of paying my ISP extra $$$ every month for a static address and a DNS entry, I use DynDNS to keep a DNS entry pointed at my cable modem’s external IP address. I wrote an SMF service to manage ddclient
on myOpenSolaris boxes to ping DynDNS whenever my address changes.
I’m using ddclient to keep everything up to date. Here are the non-comment lines in my /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf
