[olug] NetworkSolutions and Dynamic DNS

[David Gilman]

This isn't the greatest of answers but I moved my personal dynamic DNS over
to a bind server I run over the weekend.  If you're paying for DNS hosting
I can see why you wouldn't want to bother with this though.

For reference on how to do this see bind's documentation for the
'update-policy' option on a zone.  You can use the nsupdate tool to push
zone updates securely.
