Ddclient

ddclient - DNS record updating

Use this contrib when you have a sme server connected to a ISP service using a dynamic IP, and you wish to host multiple domains.

ddclient is a client for updating dynamic DNS entries for domains hosted at different DNS providers.

Configure your dynamic host domains via the ddclient server manager panel.

ddclient can be used on servers configured in server gateway mode or in server only mode.

	Warning:
	When you have the smeserver.free.fr sme7-ddclient contrib installed and you run yum upgrade with the smecontribs repository enabled on your server, watch out! There is a smeserver-ddclient package that will get installed as an upgrade and this conflicts with the sme7-ddclient package ! Remove the sme7-ddclient first, see instructions below.
