If you are using a ppp connection, you can easily update your DynDNS
entry with each connection, with:
## configure pppd to update DynDNS with each connection
cp sample-etc_ppp_ip-up.local /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
## configure pppd to update DynDNS with each connection
cp sample-etc_ppp_ip-up.local /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
Alternatively, you may just configure ddclient to operate as a daemon
and monitor your ppp interface.

configure cron to force an update once a month so that the dns entry will
not become stale.

USING DDCLIENT WITH dhcpcd-1.3.17
@ -131,16 +135,17 @@ USING DDCLIENT WITH dhcpcd-1.3.17
If you are using dhcpcd-1.3.17 or thereabouts, you can easily update
your DynDNS entry automatically every time your lease is obtained
or renewed by creating an executable file named:
/etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-{your-interface}.exe
/etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-{your-interface}.exe
ie.:
cp sample-etc_dhcpc_dhcpcd-eth0.exe /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-{your-interface}.exe
cp sample-etc_dhcpc_dhcpcd-eth0.exe /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-{your-interface}.exe
In my case, it is named dhcpcd-eth0.exe and contains the lines:
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/sbin:/root/bin:${PATH}
logger -t dhcpcd IP address changed to $1
ddclient -proxy fasthttp.sympatico.ca -wildcard -ip $1 | logger -t ddclient
exit 0
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/sbin:/root/bin:${PATH}
logger -t dhcpcd IP address changed to $1
ddclient -proxy fasthttp.sympatico.ca -wildcard -ip $1 | logger -t ddclient
exit 0
Other DHCP clients may have another method of calling out to programs
for updating DNS entries.
