- the "GANDI way": an extension of the XML-RPC api ("zone_set" only
allows you to switch between pre-defined zones, not dynamically alter
one - if I understand it correctly)
This is going to change, methods are being developped so you will also
be able to create new zones with the API (ie. without the website). Any
update of this kind will require the infamous TTL amount of time.
- the "common way": using the dyndns.org protocol, which is used by
other dynamic dns providers too. (a simple HTTP GET request) Quite a
lot of (software and hardware) clients support this protocol (see for
instance, http://www.dyndns.com/support/clients/thir... and
http://www.dyndns.com/support/clients/hard...)
- the "standard way": basically the RFC2136 method, so we can use
nsupdate and related tools. Windows 2000/XP/2003 support this natively
with a different authentification method (GSS-TSIG/RFC3645 instead of
TSIG/RFC2845.
There is still an open discussion at Gandi regarding which protocol we
will support and when. There are higher priorities on our todo list,
notably new TLDs, the mail, the hosting... So, the next question being
:
So, Gandi folks... will this be supported one way or another?
The answer is : it will, we want it. We just have to find which way and
when.
