FIELD DESCRIPTION
Host Name Enter your host name in this field.
DDNS Type Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select DynamicDNS if you have a dynamic
IP address(es). Select StaticDNS if you have a static IP address(s).
Select CustomDNS to have dyns.org provide DNS service for a domain name that
you already have from a source other than dyndns.org.
Enable
Wildcard
Option
Your ZyWALL supports DYNDNS Wildcard. Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER]
to select Yes or No. This field is N/A when you choose DDNS client as your service
provider.
Enable Off Line
Option
This field is only available when CustomDNS is selected in the DDNS Type field.
Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select Yes. When Yes is selected, http://
www.dyndns.org/ traffic is redirected to a URL that you have previously specified
(see www.dyndns.org for details).
Bind WAN Enter the WAN port to use for updating the IP address of the domain name.
HA Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select Yes to enable the high availability
(HA) feature.
If the WAN port specified in the Bind WAN field does not have a connection, the
ZyWALL will attempt to use the IP address of another WAN port to update the domain
name.
When the WAN ports are in the active/passive operating mode, the ZyWALL will
update the domain name with the IP address of whichever WAN port has a
connection, regardless of the setting in the Bind WAN field.
Clear this check box and the ZyWALL will not update the domain name with an IP
address if the WAN port specified in the Bind WAN field does not have a connection.
Note: If you enable high availability, DDNS can also function when the
ZyWALL uses the dial backup port. DDNS does not function when the
ZyWALL uses traffic redirect.
Refer to the High Availability section in Chapter 20 DNS for detailed information.
