Dynamic DNS Perl Update Script written by Tristan Nixon (January 2003)

The basic function of interacting with your servers has essentially been lifted from Bob Lee's little script on your site, but it does much more than that.

* it will check if the current ip assigned to the ppp0 ( or whichever ) interface is the same as that in the dns record ( via a 'host' query ) and will not update if they are the same - so as to reduce redundant updates when run from a cron job

* it returns appropriate error codes so that it can be merged with init scripts and give appropriate messages on startup / shutdown of the network service.

* it will modify the /etc/hosts file so that when offline, the hostname is bound to a locally accessible ip ( ie 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.x.x or whatever) in order to appease system daemons which don't like running with hostnames that don't properly resolve.

* it does some parsing of the output returned by the changeip servers, so that it can log the XML output but not the html output in the logfiles

* did I mention it logs to a logfile? yessir, it does!

* its got some shell security - using the perl taint checking mechanism

* it's got my best attempt at writing some explanatory details to help newbies use it in the opening comments.

* it makes one hell of a good cheesecake.... no, wait it doesn't do that.
