|
|
I am considering to move dns hosting to Linode. I know there is some restriction on the ip address a.b.c.d in the records, but that using MX records for gmail is allowed.
Can I have a subdomain that I dynamically update with my home dynamic ip, using a shared key.
1. My ISP decides to change my ip to 1.2.3.4
2. My box at home detects the change and updates linode DNS manager with:
home.mydomain.com A 1.2.3.4
where 1.2.3.4 is a non-Linode IP address.
is that allowed and possible? |

| You can point your domain recoreds at whatever you want, as for the automation the linode api would be ideal for that http://www.linode.com/api/index.cfm/ |

someone posted a shell script in here a while back for doing that via the api. I recently lost it and haven't done a search to find it yet.
edit: got unlazy!
