simple update

Dnsupdate is an IP address update program written in Perl for dynamic DNS updates as defined in RFC2136. This program submits dynamic IP address update requests to a name server automatically.

Dnsupdate gets a current IP address with a simple cgi program (included in this package) which is put on an external HTTP server, and it will send update requests to a name server only if the IP address at the time of the last update is no longer valid.

Dnsupdate can be executed as a daemon which repeatedly updates IP addresses for a domain at a specified interval in the background.

Dnsupdate can add or delete an address record for a domain manually. And it can also add or delete an alias for a domain manually.

Dnsupdate is released under the GNU General Public License.
