Hello there,
I'm currently retrying the new dynamic DNS implementation using ddclient.
I'm trying to setup an entry for STRATO. There is a pre-provided service, but It does not seem to use IPv6 at all.
First, I was using the 'Interface' source. This did not work. Later I've noticed, that some series are providing a v4 and v6 option. So I've created a second entry for STRATO using a v6 service and it still isn't working. Now, my IPv4 entry is showing my IPv6 address... ..-It's not just showing them. it's using for both, my v4 and v6 entries...
How will I be able to use the new client with v4 and v6?
..guess I'll be stuck with the old Dyn DNS client...
As far as I know, ddclient is only able to do one of either IPv4 or IPv6 at a time. You could use two entries to do both separately if the DynDNS provider supports that (probably by using another endpoint name for IPv6 plus autodetecting the sending IP and thus updating the same entry for IPv4 and IPv6 accordingly).
Also, in order to use IPv6 at all, you have to use the "general" tab, advanced mode, enable IPv6.
For Strato, the resulting entry is just:
use=if, if=pppoe0, \
protocol=dyndns2, \
server=dyndns.strato.com, \
login=user, \
password=pass \
xyz.strato.com
I do not see real Strato support in ddclient because they expect to have both IPs updated in one request via parameters.
