Package: inadyn (1.99.4-1 and others)

Simple and small DynDNS client written in the C language

With this package the user can have an Internet name for his host even though he might not have a name server or a static IP. It works by being a client of a supposedly open name server and updating the server's records when the need arise. A list of the servers that are supported is:

  * http://www.dyndns.org
  * http://freedns.afraid.org
  * http:// www.zoneedit.com
  * http://www.no-ip.com
  * http://www.easydns.com
  * http://www.tzo.com

  * http://dns.he.net
  * http://www.dynsip.org
  * http://www.sitelutions.com
  * http://www.dnsexit.com

Some of the services of these servers are free of charge.

This is a command line tool that is written in portable ANSI C with a little OS abstraction layer. It can maintain multiple host names with the same IP address, and has a web based IP detection which runs well behind a NAT router.
