Re: Dynamic DNS Updater

I'm currently running Ubuntu Server 8 and I'm looking for a utility that I
can run that does the following:

1. Obtains the WAN IP from my router (D-Link DGL-4500)
2. Contacts DynDns.com and updates my Dynamic DNS domain.

I read about ddclient, however it looks like no one has been working on it
for a while. I didn't see my router supported in there and I'm not sure if
the other supported routers will just magically work with mine. Thanks.

I think that ddclient does what you want. Whether or not it's capable of
get your router's WAN address probably doesn't matter since ddclient can
use the IP checking page of DynDNS. In /etc/ddclient.conf change the line
use=if, if=<whatever>
to
use=web
