Frankly it's completely stupid because by the time # that the changed DNS record propagates to the rest of the # Internet, the dynamic system has finished it's session and disconnected. DyDNS is a better than Microsoft's cruddy WINS name resolution in that you can use any operating system that supports registering the machine's hostname and domain name. Also, DyDNS is required (as well as a subdomain called `_msadc.') to use Microosft' Active Directory. # (Whenever I point that out to dyDNS people, they tell me that # dyDNS is only supposed to be used for internal DNS only - of course # this is usually after 5 minutes of listening to them expound on the # virtues of dyDNS for the Internet) I do think that DyDNS should only be used internally (why else would one really need it? I can see dial-up people wanting to use it, but I don't think ISPs want to deal with that!). You also don't want DyDNS requests, ack messages, and other related packets to be set through the public Internet anyways :) -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
