IP Address
The options available in this field vary by DDNS provider.
Interface
-The UAG uses the IP address of the specified interface. This option appears
when you select a specific interface in the
Backup Binding Address Interface
field.
Auto
-The DDNS server checks the source IP address of the packets from the UAG for the
IP address to use for the domain name. You may want to use this if there are one or more
NAT routers between the UAG and the DDNS server.
Note: The UAG may not determine the proper IP address if there is an HTTP proxy server
between the UAG and the DDNS server.
Custom
- If you have a static IP address, you can select this to use it for the domain
name. The UAG still sends the static IP address to the DDNS server.
Custom IP
This field is only available when the
IP Address
is
Custom
. Type the IP address to use for
the domain name.
Enable Wildcard
This option is only available with a DynDNS account.
Enable the wildcard feature to alias subdomains to be aliased to the same IP address as
your (dynamic) domain name. This feature is useful if you want to be able to use, for
example,
www.yourhost.dyndns.org
and still reach your hostname.
Mail Exchanger
This option is only available with a DynDNS account.
DynDNS can route e-mail for your domain name to a mail server (called a mail exchanger).
For example, DynDNS routes e-mail for
to the host record
specified as the mail exchanger.
If you are using this service, type the host record of your mail server here. Otherwise leave
the field blank.
See
www.dyndns.org
for more information about mail exchangers.
Backup Mail
Exchanger
This option is only available with a DynDNS account.
Select this check box if you are using DynDNS’s backup service for e-mail. With this
service, DynDNS holds onto your e-mail if your mail server is not available. Once your mail
server is available again, the DynDNS server delivers the mail to you. See www.dyndns.org
for more information about this service.
