Dydns service

use my own domain yet a cheaper service, because I would need it only
for a few minutes everyday and not after that.

Uhm, I don't really get your problem. Dyndns.org IS CHEAP, in fact it's
free...:-) I have several of their free domains registered and in use
for about 1 1/2 year now without a problem.
If you're looking for a DNS registrar to have a domain without the
fixed extension of dyndns, and have someone host it for you at a cheap
rate, you might want to look at http://register.webreseller.net/ They
offer most domains for $9.95 dns hosting included. I don't have any
experience with them tho. Someone else on this list might however.

I was trying out ipcheck script, but if ddclient supports zoneedit, I
might use that instead. One question about zoneedit tho: ddclient
would update the zone info at ZE everytime my ip changes (say at every
bootup, or daily), but would it not require ZE 72 hours for the change
to take effect? How much time does it take for the ip change to take
effect, if say I have a domain with ZE.
I asked my ISP what would be the cost of getting a global/permanent IP
address and the guy said it would be around 150 to 200 USD. Is that a
normal price. How much is normal pricing?

Great! I'm off to zoneedit.
Thanks a lot

I use EasyDNS and I think $20 or so is cheap and I use my own domain.
That does not include the domain registration, which you do not have to have
with EasyDNS to use their dynamic DNS service. You can do your updates with
ddclient and also with some others. My router does not support EasyDNS but
ddclient can work with my router (a Linksys broadband router).

I have configured ddclient to update dyndns and when I type ddclient
-ip my.ip.add.ress, the address gets updated at dyndns in mintes but I
want to make ddclient do this automatically. I tried a number of
options but ddclient fails to get my (ppp0) ip. What option do I need
to make ddclient find my ip correctly and update dyndns? I can't find
my ip in syslog.

We recently had a thread here on this (May 5th). Look for
"how to determine WAN IP address from behind a NAT router?"
in the archives -- there were several suggestions...
ddclient itself offers a way to query your router's web status page
and extract your current external IP from it.
For example, I have this in my config (/etc/ddclient.conf):
fw-login=admin # router login
fw-password=my-router-passw # and password
use=fw # get IP from firewall (router)
fw=192.168.1.1/doc/digisdn.sht
fw-skip='WAN IP Address'
"192.168.1.1/doc/digisdn.sht" is the HTTP URL to the router's status
page, and 'WAN IP Address' is the keyword after which the IP address is
found in the HTML returned by the router.
Of course, you'd have to figure out what those are in your case...

I figured this out (or RTFMed). It was simple: ddclient -use=if ppp0 .
That's all that was needed and I put this in a script that scarts ppp
at bootup (a script under /etc/rc.boot) The only thing now is that
most of the times, pppd hasn't yet got an IP from the router and
ddclient starts up. I have given a sleep time for ddclient as 3 mintes
but even this much is less and it fails when the ppp0 IP takes more
time.
Same thing happens with ipmasq which also is started along with
ddclient. Then lots of ipmasq junk comes on the screen and it's hard
to type a command or even login ( i need to keep pressing Ctrl - L).
Is there a solution to this? Previously it never used to take long to
get the IP address. Is there a way I can make this proicess faster? I
use pppoe.
And is there way I can execute the scripts that I have under
/etc/rc.boot? Like the scripts under /etc/rcx.d hev a number
associated with them and when they get executed?

Shot in the dark:
I haven't really looked at this, but isn't there a method of listing
ppp0 in /etc/network/interfaces? I keep getting this message at bootup
that this is the newer method but I could be completely wrong. Now, if
that is possible, you could just put
"up ddclient ...." or whatever the command you want to give
so that it is executed after ppp0 comes up (I assume ppp0 has an IP by
the time is comes up else it doesn't come up at all).
Please take my comments above with a grain of salt. I mean to look into
this one of these days and use the D-Link router I am using for
something else while making an old Linux box as the gateway ...... one
of these days :)

No, ppp0 comes up even without an IP and later gets an IP.
