Re: Dynamic DNS Services?

Thanks for your input Lanwench. Are you satisfied with their IP update
speed when things change?

As for mail I am using SMTP delivery and it won't effect mail delivery if
you have two MX records (one for each IP address). When one is offline it
sends to the other IP address.

I've been looking at some Dynamic DNS service providers on the
Internet in an attempt to find one that fits my need. I currently
have an ISP that has two IP addresses assigned to my router, one for
main bandwidth and another for backup bandwidth. I also have my own
domain name purchased that I am using for mail, RWW and OWA. My main
question would be are the free services only used with the service
providers domain names (for example myname.dyndns.com) or can you use
your own domain name with them? My ISP has two MX records setup for
mail so change of IP address does not effect mail but only access to
RWW and OWA. I guess it would cause Outlook over HTTP to fail as
well.
Bottom line........what are others using here at this NG and are you
happy with their service and the way it works and what are things to
look for when picking a dynamic DNS provider?

Thanks

I highly recommend www.dyndns.com. They've got my business, and a very
small piece of my heart that I wasn't otherwise using, but was still in
decent shape despite its years. If you use the free dynamic DNS service,
you use yourname.theirname.whatever - but if you use their custom DNS
service, you're golden even with a dynamic IP. Their paid services aren't
expensive, and I like'em a lot.

This *should* affect mail, as you ought to be using SMTP delivery rather
than a/the POP connector. ;)
