Which part? A dynamic DNS client should be available from whatever dynamic DNS system your friend chooses to use. However, if you're talking about him hitting your web server periodically, then it's not really necessary. So I'd guess you're asking about nsupdate. You can use something like this: nsupdate -k /var/named/conf/user_before data where data is a return-separated list of statements. If you want to just replace the A record named "example.com" with a new one each time, you can use statements like this: zone example.com update delete example.com A update add example.com 900 A ip-addr send The "900" is a TTL of 15 minutes. Replace "ip-addr" with the new IP address. Chris Buxton Men & Mice - Making DNS Easy Customer Service and Sales Engineer
