General DNS & Domains Dyn Email Update Clients Dyn Developer

I have the need to monitor an IP address and dynamically change a Host Name's IP temporarily until that first IP becomes available again. The Host Name is (of course) hosted at DynDNS and I I need to be able to monitor and change this hostname from OUTSIDE the network in question.

Is it possible using the available DynDNS API to create a tool that can log in and alter a Host Name hosted in the DynDNS infrastructure or does this API only allow for clients installed on a private network and not from a management resource located out on the public Internet?

If not, does DynDNS offer this service (or something like it) in any way?

1 Answer:

You're talking about a high availability/failover solution?

Yes, you can entirely automate the process (which is what the clients do) - the API is published here. There's no requirement that the client be on the same network as the IP you're assigning.
