Run a script based on network / DHCP changes
Authored by: Anonymous on Sep 29, '04 03:11:55PM
Does this point to a way to tell a daemon like DNSUpdate to update the DNS servers whenever your dynamic IP address is modified?

This hint is really about modifying specific properties on a host based on a set of network changes. My understanding is that DNSUpdate is about updating DynDNS.org servers when running public services on a non-static IP. You wouldn't want it run everytime the kicker ran. You only want it to run when your ISP gives you a new IP address.

The real way to update internal DNS is to let the DHCP daemon contact BIND and update the zones via DDNS when a host changes.
