Adding IPv6 address to existing dyndns domain
Shadow Hawkins on Monday, 02 July 2012 01:49:05
Hi,
my server currently publishes its dynamic IP4 address via ez-ipupdate as a dyndns domain name. Dyndns nowadays does support IPv6 addresses (AAAA records), too, so I thought I'd publish both addresses.
I can sign into my account and manually enter the static sixxs-provided IPv6 address for my domain. However, now whenever ez-ipupdate updates my changing IPv4 address, the IPv6 address gets reset to empty (i.e. disabled).
Also, I didn't find a way to configure ez-ipupdate to submit a IPv6 address in parallel with the IPv4 address whenever it sends out updates.
Is there anybody out there who made dynamic-IPv4 plus static IPv6 address on the same domain name work with dyndns? Which tool and config do I need? I have debian squeeze installed, everything that works out of the box would be preferred.
Thanks for any hints,
cheers,
David

I guess you'll have to ask dyndns if they it is possible to dynamicly update both IPv4 + IPv6 addresses at the same time, likely though it only takes one or the other.

The Update URL used for IPv4
https://members.dyndns.org/nic/update?system=dyndns&hostname={0}&myip={1}&wildcard=NOCHG
can be used for IPv6 updates as well.
So you can not update both addresses with one call but you have to make two of them (afaik).
I'm sorry but regarding an out-of-the-box solution for Linux I can't help as I use Windows and have built a small application to refresh the address(es) in C#.
