Hi Max, Hi Benjamin,<br>
<br>
Benjamin's idea of using a client to update an existing dynamic dns
service is probably the easiest. You could delegate a subdomain of
<a href="http://ilesansfil.org">ilesansfil.org</a> (how about "<a href="http://venues.ilesansfil.org">venues.ilesansfil.org</a>") to a remote dnydns
service so your existing dns is not affected, then have a trigger on
the db that uses the client to update the remote dyndns server on
change of an ip address.<br>
<br>
I had imagined something a little more elaborate - delegating a
subdomain to your auth server and running a perl sockets service that
answers only host lookups on port 53. Bothering with the entire BIND
DNS spec would be unecessary (don't need reverse or MX queries). DNS
speaks binary on the wire so it is still a little elaborate but not
impossible (I've worked on a resolver for a mail server called Lumisoft
Mail).<br>
<br>
I think Benjamin's plan may be easier to implement.<br>
