4.5.2 Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS allows you to use a Dynamic DNS service to reach your DKVM-IP1 by an easy to
remember domain name rather than by its IP address. This can also be useful if your IP address
changes frequently, such as when using a DSL connection. When Dynamic DNS is enabled, the
DKVM-IP1 will connect to a DDNS service at regular intervals to update it with its current IP
address. The Remote user can then simply open a web browser to go to the easy to remember
address (e.g. mykvm.dyndns.org) provided by the DDNS service. There are many freely available
DDNS services available, such as www.dyndns.org
, which is used in the example diagram below.
