Hi Tore, yes, manufacturing a DNS name for my/our probe/s was one of the first actions during installation :-) Tore Anderson wrote:
Hi list,
I've got a probe connected to my home broadband connection, which might change its WAN address whenever my ISP feels like it should.
What would be your suggested mechanism to keep this in synch with the DNS zone data?
I just thought it would be a nice feature if the probes had an A record in DNS that were automatically updated to match the current external address. Like probe-121.atlas.ripe.net or something. That way I would have a hostname I would be sure that points to the WAN address of my CPE whenever I want to log on to my home network from somewhere else.
I would think such a feature would be a small incentive for home broadband users to become probe hosts.
On an unrelated note, the graphs for the probe in question (#121) doesn't work, they're all gray, even though the probe is up.
Best regards,
Cheers, Wilfried
