IPTarget

IPTarget helps you to have one or more of your domain names to always point to your current dynamic IP address. If you run your own server on a broadband connection that doesn\'t have a static IP address and you want one or more of your domain names to always point to your current dynamic IP address, then IPTarget can help you.

Many dynamic IP DNS solutions rely on an external server to determine your public IP address. This is an excellent solution, but for many network configurations the public IP address can also be obtained from the web interface on one of the networking devices.

For example, I currently have three networking devices in my home setup: a DSL modem, a VOIP box, and a router. Before I configured my DSL modem to be in pass-through mode, it obtained the public IP address. Now the VOIP box is configured to obtain the public IP address. In either case, the public IP address could be obtained by viewing one of the "Status" pages in the network device\'s web interface.

IPTarget performs periodically HTTP requests to your network device in order to obtain the current IP address. If the IP address changes, it will automatically update all the DNS records for your ZoneEdit managed domain(s).
