Scott, That's why you don't run ddup as a cron job. You put it in /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup so it is only run when you connect to your isp. Of course, if you're not using ppp, e.g. cable, dsl, etc.. than just ignore me. :) Although I'm sure there's a way to run it only when needed in that situation also. === As to the original question, I'm not sure if this is what he is asking. I belive what Krzysztof is asking, is if there is a way for the bind running on his box to be updated with the current IP address of some other boxes. E.g. His box would be acting like a mini-dyndns style name server. If that is the question, I don't belive there is a freely available daemon to do this. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Scott A.
