hi,

my friend is tasked to setup a dynamic dns server similar to what dyndns.org and no-ip.com are doing. the problem is she (relatively) doesnt have a clue where to start and her deadline is monday next week. im guessing its just a glorified DNS server that an application/script updates depending on who has registered a server but i want to be sure. the principle looks to me like its similar to what NAT servers are doing for the proxied internal machines but this is just on a wider scale and deals with DNS resolution instead.

searching in freshmeat revealed some apps for creating but i want to be sure if somebody here has already a done a similar setup. thanks.

ciao!
