4.5.12 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.
