Well, it's really a bit of a waste - imagine this scheme:
every 5 minutes:
query dns24.ch to get your external IP. if it has changed, run an update on dns24.ch.
compared to:
every 5 minutes:
send update to dns24.ch.
On laptops, I do both using ddclient with dyndns.com.
I update my external IP under one name. I update my internal IP under a different name.
(The theory was If you track your stolen laptop to some large organization (say a school campus) you still need to tell that site what IP it is using). Can't say this has ever been necessary.
NOTE: ddclient has been supplied by opensuse for years and years to do this with a variety of different service providers. I imagine it could be hacked to work with dns24.ch as well.
I imagine so too, it's not a big deal. ddclient is almost overkill, most people curl or wget, people with Fritz!Box use something called DDNS. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (2.0°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
