6.3.3 DDNS (Dynamic DNS)
DDNS is a system which allows the domain name data held in a name server to be updated
in real time. The most common use for DDNS is allowing an internet domain name to be
assigned to a computer with a varying / dynamic IP Address. This makes it possible for other
sites on the internet to establish connection to the machine without needing to track the IP
Address themselves.
