Everything works except for dynamic DNS updates. In fact, my Cisco ATA actually works BETTER through the new router :) I have found several dynDNS updater programs, but they all seem to get the new IP info from a hardware router's web interface (which I no longer have). Given that the router is now a *nix box, it would seem reasonable that this could be simplified. However, I noted on the dynDNS.org website that they discourage users from simply running scripts from the dhcp exit script. How is everyone else updating their dynamic DNS entries from a FreeBSD based gateway router? BTW - I'm using isc-dhcp3-3.0.1.r11_1 from the ports tree. Thanks, Seth Henry
