Hi there. I'm relatively new to http://DYNDNS.COM and have a custom DNS service here and hosting my NAS at home. I am able to access my NAS, etc. However, as I will be going overseas soon for work, I will probably need to ensure that my ISP's dynamic IP, when changed, automatically updates my Airport Extreme as well. I will not be switching my Mac on at home during this period, so having a DynDNS update client running would be out of the question. My objective: To ensure my Airport Extreme automatically updates http://DYNDNS.COM when the dynamic IP issued by my ISP changes, it automatically updates http://DYNDNS.COM. I have followed the guide here: https://www.dyndns.com/support/kb/apple_airport_with_custom_dns.html Double-triple checked as well. Let's take for example, my custom host name is "your-custom-zone.com" I have added the following in DynDNS custom DNS settings under the expert 'mode' for my domain. _dns-update._udp 60 SRV 0 5 53 http://update.dyndns.com. http://b._dns-sd._udp.your-custom-zone.com 60 PTR http://your-custom-zone.com. http://lb._dns-sd._udp.your-custom-zone.com 60 PTR http://your-custom-zone.com. http://db._dns-sd._udp.your-custom-zone.com 60 PTR http://your-custom-zone.com. http://r._dns-sd._udp.your-custom-zone.com 60 PTR http://your-custom-zone.com. http://dr._dns-sd._udp.your-custom-zone.com 60 PTR http://your-custom-zone.com. I then proceeded to my Airport Extreme. For example, my airport extreme's name is "my-aiport.local". I proceeded to add under "Use dynamic global hostname" with the following Hostname: http://my-airport.your-custom-zone.com Username: generated from my TSIG settings Password: generated from my TSIG settings Shortly I did see an automatic creation of an "A-record" added into my custom DNS with the following
Does the above actually mean that my Airport-extreme successfully communicated itself to http://DYNDNS.COM and is actually keeping it updated? Also I checked my airport logs and saw the following error message,
That messaged appeared at random times. Sometimes in a span of 2-3 minutes and the next one will happen in the next 35 minutes. My ISP's issued IP to me has not changed yet, so I don't really know if this is going to work or not but I'm hoping it is working. I did check on my Custom DNS Host Update Logs but I can't see anything with regard to my Airport Extreme trying to communicate with http://DYNDNS.COM or at least attempting to. My questions are.
I need some form of re-assurance. :) Regards, Aaron |
Certainly the first of those is the case.
A quick Google shows many threads on that subject, including on the Apple forums. This one in particular may be relevant.
Hi Cry Havok, Many thanks for your reply. I guess I'll wait a while :)

Also, I disabled my Back to my Mac and I don't have any the error message with the Wide-Area Bonjour error.

Problem resolved according to the poster's own comments. Closing to stop the forum bot bumping it.
