EasyDNS How To

One of my client use EasyDNS service for Dynamic DNS.

But they do not want do it in manual.
Here is how to do it in Linux:

I used a perl module called DNS-EasyDNS from:
http://search.cpan.org/~gbrock/DNS-EasyDNS/

1. First download the latest version:

# wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/G/GB/GBROCK/DNS-EasyDNS-0.04.tar.gz

2. Uncompress the file

# tar xvf DNS-EasyDNS-0.04.tar.gz

# cd DNS-EasyDNS-0.04

You will need install libwww-perl module before install it:

# yum install perl-libwww-perl

To use SSL connection also need:

# yum install perl-Crypt-SSLeay.x86_64

3. Install it:

# perl Makefile.PL

# make

# make test

# make install

4. Create a shell

#!/bin/bash
LogFile=/home/admin/script/dns_update.log
echo "-------------------------------------------" >> $LogFile
echo $(date +"%y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") >> $LogFile
echo "--------------------------" >> $LogFile
echo "Update DNS for lambertdatabasetest.com" >> $LogFile
/home/admin/script/easydns-simple "username" "password" lambertdatabasetest.com >> $LogFile

5. Use crontab automatic update:

# vi crontab

Add:

0,15,30,45 * * * * /home/admin/script/dns_update.sh
