About ddclient

DDclient is a Perl client used to update dynamic DNS entries for accounts on Dynamic DNS Network Services' free DNS service. Supported features include: operating as a daemon, manual and automatic updates, static and dynamic updates, optimized updates for multiple addresses, MX, wildcards, abuse avoidance, retrying failed updates, and sending update status to syslog and through e-mail.

Supported dynamic DNS services are:

(Probably more, but these are the ones we've found in the current README and RELEASENOTES of ddclient).

To load ddclient during boot, add ddclient.lrp to the list of packages in leaf.cfg.

Configuring ddclient

HTTP/ACCEPT         fw       net

Don't forget to save your configuration with lrcfg -> s!
