So, the only issue with typical DDNS, such as MS and Bind, is the complexity of setup. They can easily do it for DHCP clients on a LAN, assuming you're running your own DHCP server, and you're on your own LAN, but not so easy if requiring authentication across a WAN or stuff like that... Somebody like dyndns requires installation of an app on your system... which isn't too bad, but would be nice if it were built-in to every OS (such as it is, with pfsense.) But, I just got the idea from startssl.net ... All you need to do is connect to a webpage, or any web service for that matter, and they know your client IP address. As long as you have *any* way to uniquely identify yourself to a web site, the automatic DDNS could be updated simply and easily. Could be a client installed on your system with saved credentials. Could be a signed cert of some kind used to identify your system... And then you've got simple, reliable, globally available DDNS. Still, the question is not so much whether it's theoretically possible, cuz that was obvious even from the start. The question is more along the lines of ... Anybody know of any service currently offering IPv6 DDNS? _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
