5.10.2 CONFIGURING DYNAMIC DNS
Dynamic DNS is a term used for the updating in real time of Internet Domain Name System
(DNS) name servers to keep the active DNS configuration of their hostnames, addresses and other
information up to date.
In order to use the Dynamic DNS service its necessary to subscribe to a Dynamic DNS Service.
Dynamic DNS providers offer a software client program that automates the discovery and registration
of the client system's public IP addresses. The client program is executed on a computer or device in
the private network. It connects to the Dynamic DNS provider's systems with a unique login name;
the provider uses the name to link the discovered public IP address of the home network with a
hostname in the domain name system. Depending on the provider, the hostname is registered within a
domain owned by the provider, or within the customer's own domain name. These services can
function by a number of mechanisms. Often they use an HTTP service request since even restrictive
environments usually allow HTTP service.
The Dynamic DNS Server allows the network manager to alias a dynamic IP Address to a static host
name in any of the domains, allowing the 6401 Rugged Router to be more easily accessed from
various locations on the Internet
