5.5.14 Dynamic DNS
What is Dynamic DNS The Dynamic DNS service allows you to assign a dynamic DNS host name (e.g.
john.dyndns.org) to a broadband connection even if it is using a dynamic IP address.
As soon as the device gets a new IP address, the dynamic DNS server updates its
entry to the new IP address.
Overview Click Overview to view the different Dynamic DNS clients with their name,
hostnames, interface and IP address.
