Registrars with free DynDNS services of my own domains.

[Marcin M. Jessa]

Hi guys.

I don't know of any more suitable NetBSD list to ask my question so I
will ask here.
I need a registrar which can host my own domains and in exchange give me
a dyndns service for the @ records of my domains as an extra free of
charge service.
Do you guys know of any registrars that can do that?


Cheers,
Marcin.

I use afraid.org as a DNS service and any registrar will do.

That's a nice place! Thanks Matthew.

I actually figured out I can run my own services for all my domains
on a dynamic IP without breaking any DNS related RFC.

I have 2 DNS servers, a master with static IP and a slave with dynamic
IP (both can have a dynamic IP).
The resgistrar (godaddy) does not require IPs when defining custom DNS
servers so one of the
DNS servers can run just fine on a dynamic IP as long as it's host has
defined an A record and not a CNAME.
And as long as the Arecord for my domains is not set it should be fine.

But not having A records for the domains will of course mean that
I won't be able to access http://domain.tld , just http://www.domain.tld
But there is a solution to it too.
Having access to the master DNS I just can easly update all the A
records with a script.
I use PowerDNS to host my domains and it's just a metter of running one
SQL query to have everything updated and working just fine.

All I have to do is to check if IP of my dyndns host has changed and run
the SQL query
to update all the A records on the master server to match that new IP.


Thanks.

Marcin.

If you mean by dynamic IP "my provider changes it irregulary", then I
would strongly recomment against such a setup as it places burden of
random traffic to the poor customer that gets your IP next. Or the lucky
customer than can provide its own DNS records...

Joerg, is warning you that that next someone can steal your domain...

Oh, in that case I must have missed it. How would that be done? Is
that because of the dyndns provider ?

The difference of the setup you descriped to the setup used e.g. by
dyndns is that dyndns has stable IPs for the primary and secondary
server. In your case whoever gets the IP next can act as secondary for
the domain as long as the NS record is valid. Depending on the TLD you
are using, that can be quite some time.

Thanks Joerg. The same thing was just pointed out on the ISP list of
FreeBSD. I honestly did not think of that and I am actually not
concerning this as a high probability risk. I frankly doubt anyone on my
IP block has even heard of a thing called DNS. But sure, better safe
than sorry.
I will get a new DNS with a static IP and just update the relevant A
records on my master using an automatization script.

Thanks again.

Marcin.

I don't think the few extra packets would ever do any harm to anybody.
I'm not exactly running any site with millions of hits.
If I were you I'd email youtube if you have concerns about high
bandwidth usage ;)

because of the dyndns provider ?
I don't see why dyndns.com, which I use would be interested in wracking
their reputation ....
Please explain it to me.

Hi guys.
I don't know of any more suitable NetBSD list to ask my question so I
will ask here.

And that is totaly off topic here.

This list is for network problems within NetBSD and not about some other
service providers.

What list would be more suitable then so I don't have to disturb the
high volume traffic on this maling list?

Am I misreading you or are you attempting sarcasm here?

You're not misreading. People used to be kind here and never got caught
up in something silly as this "off topic" remark.
I will stop posting to this thread as I'm obviously disturbing your
lives in such a tremendous way with my off-topic questions and since
you're trying to turn it into yet another pointless discussion.
Have a nice day.

Marcin

Am I misreading you or are you attempting sarcasm here? Is it your
contention that posting off topic messages is OK because the list isn't
busy enough? There's nothing wrong with a low volume list. In
particular, the fact that this list is low volume simply reflects the
stability of NetBSD networking code and that's a good thing.

Don't look for the lowest volume list to post, look for the most
appropriate list. In this case it won't even be a NetBSD list. Look
around, use Google and find out where these things are being
discussed. Not only will that make you a good net citizen, it will
also get you better answers because you will be talking to the people
dealing with this stuff all the time.

Note - speaking for myself, not the project - as if I could.

You might try netbsd-users, it is probably the most generic and
mainly-user-oriented list.
