Registering with the Dynamic DNS Service
You can register the external IP address of the Firebox® X Edge with
the dynamic Domain Name Server (DNS) service DynDNS.org. A
dynamic DNS service makes sure that the IP address attached to
your domain name changes when your ISP gives your Firebox X
Edge a new IP address. For more information, refer to these FAQs:
