<i>tinydyndns</i> provides a simple and powerful dynamic DNS solution. The
usage is nearly fool proof, feel free to test it:
<p>
There is a <i>pop-before-dyndns</i> service running on
<tt>dyn.smarden.org</tt>. This service knows about the dynamic hostname
<tt>floyd.dyn.smarden.org</tt> and handles it respectively.
Simply connect to the POP mailbox <tt>floyd@dyn.smarden.org</tt> with
your favorite POP3 client to update the DNS record
<tt>floyd.dyn.smarden.org</tt>.
Don't worry, the POP mailbox always is empty, you never get mail from it.
<p>
Easy to remember:
<ul>
<li>Check the POP mailbox <tt><b>floyd@dyn.smarden.org</b></tt> for
<li>Updating the DNS record <tt><b>floyd.dyn.smarden.org</b></tt>
</ul>
<hr>
Test it:
<pre>
$ telnet dyn.smarden.org 110
Trying a.b.c.d...
Connected to dyn.smarden.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK <8746.1015174596@dyn.smarden.org>
USER floyd
+OK
PASS guest
+OK
QUIT
Connection closed by foreign host.
$
</pre>
Check the dynamic hostname:
<pre>
$ dnsipq floyd.dyn.smarden.org
</pre>
The output should contain your system's IP address.
