<xSmurf> I was wondering, is there anyway to get dhcpd to distribute the DNS from /etc/resolv.conf instead of statically defined servers from the dhcpd configs?
<ninjabunny> Poohba, so what you're asking is can I have a real domainname use dynadns if I configure records to direct the domain to my dnaIP?
<xSmurf> My router connects to my ISP using PPPoE, which in turn updates the name servers in /etc/resolv.conf
<xSmurf> but dhcpd doesn't take that into account and thus the name servers sometime go outdated
<xSmurf> *My router machine (running NetBSD)
<xSmurf> I haven't found anything about this, which seems like it should be rather obvious....

* ChanServ gives voice to x86
<Poohba> ninjabunny:  yes
<ninjabunny> Poohba,  I wish I knew I have the same question
<ninjabunny> logically it would work

<Poohba> dyndns offers that service for a fee in case you didn't know.
<xSmurf> what you want to do is use a CNAME for the real domain to point to the dyndns
<xSmurf> that will work
<xSmurf> as long as the dyndns propagates fast enough at least
<Poohba> as far as i know the way that it is set up works because my most recent ip was changed from the ip that i set up originally with my domain name and it redirected
<xSmurf> which now a days isn't that bad
<Poohba> i think it just takes time to cycle through
<xSmurf> Zoneedit offers the same service (without actually having to use a dyndns as it has dynamic A Records) for free up to 5 domains
<xSmurf> most updating clients support zoneedit
<xSmurf> ez-ipupdate does, for one
<xSmurf> (*nix)

<Poohba> i don't have a "client", mine is embedded in my router
<xSmurf> does it support zoneedit or only dyndns?
<xSmurf> does it have custom firmware abilities by anychance?
<Poohba> only dyndns.
<Poohba> that i don't know.  i have the belkin pre-n router
<Poohba> i guess i could put a client on my computer or create a script to do so.
<ninjabunny> so basically all I need to do is add a CNAME record and point it to my no-ip name
<ninjabunny> that ez?
<xSmurf> that should work
<xSmurf> I still preper the custom solution though :p
<Poohba> what is the "custom" solution?
<ninjabunny> xSmurf, ty :)
<xSmurf> np
<xSmurf> Poohba: build your own router or get one of the Linksys WRT with a custom firmware
<xSmurf> I opted for the first
<Poohba> so a cname record from *.domain.com to hostname.dyndns.org will include domain.com?
<xSmurf> afaik
<Poohba> oh.  i would have a hard time building a wireless router
<xSmurf> don't build a wireless router
<xSmurf> build a router and connect an access point to it
<xSmurf> that's basically what I do
* raina_ (n=raina@s185063.ppp.asahi-net.or.jp) has joined ##networking
<xSmurf> I have a few access points connected to it. namely one Airport Base Station (with another one using WDS) and my old linksys router (802.11b only)
* raina_ (n=raina@s185063.ppp.asahi-net.or.jp) has left ##networking ("Leaving")
<xSmurf> both only serve wifi, nothing else. Firewall, dhcp, dns, everything is done on the router
<xSmurf> (the router is a Cobalt Qube 2 running NetBSD)
* raina has quit (Nick collision from services.)

<jadacyrus> is there a way to make explorer browse an SFTP server?
<njan> jadacyrus, not out of the box.

<njan> ^ you'd need something like that, jadacyrus
