DynDNS, IPv6, ddclient and dns6.org

Cool: you can store your (static and dynamic) IPv6 addresses on dns6.org. That's easier than typing or even remembering all those hexadecimal bytes.

So create an account on www.dns6.org and create a hostname with your IPv6 address. If you can access the from your IPv6 system, it will fill out your IPv6 address automagically. That's it. It just works.

I'm now playing with ddclient and wget to announce updates of my IPv6 addresses (when working with teredo / miredo).

So far my ddclient.conf looks like this:

sander@flappie:~$ cat /etc/ddclient.conf
# Configuration file for ddclient generated by debconf
#
# /etc/ddclient.conf

pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid
protocol=dyndns2
# use=if, if=
#use=if, if=web
use=web
server=www.dns6.org
login=MyName
password='MyPass'
MyHost.dns6.org
sander@flappie:~$

I'm also trying to do the update with wget:

wget -6 http://www.dns6.org/upd.php?user=MyName&pwd=MyPass&host=MyHost.dns6.org

Results are not yet clear.
