Dynamic DNS client for Windows?
in [Network and Web]

From: Calab on 10 Apr 2008 09:41 In my Windows PC I have three network cards. They pull dynamic IP addresses from my ISP. I already have a domain registered at zoneedit.com, with the necessary A records for each network connection. Now I'm looking for a Dynamic DNS client to run as a service on my Windows machine that will automatically update ZoneEdit whenever an IP changes on any of my three network cards. I was doing this successfully about a year ago, but I cannot remember what client software I used at that time. Google finds a few DDNS clients out there, but they won't handle multiple network cards, or aren't free, or just don't make sense when it comes to configuration. Can someone suggest a good DDNS client that would meet my needs?

Why do you need three Internet addresses? If you really need these three IP addresses, then you need to really consider get static IP services and plug an IP address to each of your network adapters. Dynamic DNS (DDNS) does not appear to even been designed to do this.

Well, I technically don't need three public addresses, but I use one specifically to maintain the PC from remote locations, so don't want much traffic on the connections. Second connection is where I pass all my public traffic - FTP, Torrents, etc. This interface can become as congensted as it wants. The third connection is actually used by my internal LAN, but I use DNS to resolve various devices on my network. This IP shouldn't change, but better safe than sorry. I also use this connection as a fallback when I can't connect to the other two interfaces.
