The Gandi FAQ states very simply that Gandi does not and will not support dynamic DNS. Dynamic DNS is a useful service (especially for those of us behind a retail DSL connection). Personally I use it to access the ssh server running on my internal network. From my perspective it would appear to be a service similar to others that Gandi does provide, such as email and web redirection or generic DNS management. Of course we could create an account with dyndns.com and add their nameserver to the Gandi DNS records. But since we are already paying for our service with Gandi, and since Gandi is already handling all out other domain and DNS business, it would seem to make sense that it also handle dynamic DNS, so that everything is managed from the one place. Is it possible to ask Gandi to explain why it does not support dynamic DNS?

I agree. I've been struggling to figure out how to work around this. It would really be a huge help to support dynamic dns.

I second the group. I also hope people at Gandi will read this. Currently I have my domains hosted at GANDI, but my servers are all behind dynamic ip blocks. I use noip for ddns, and have gandi mx & subdomain entries pointing to the ddns names. This works fine. Its no extra cost, but I would be great if Gandi will offer the service not to worry about third parties into this. I was tempted to move everything over to noip (since they offer dns mgmnt) but have some .eu domains that I need to manage (which noip cannot do) and I believe Gandi front/end interface and services are much better than noip which are becoming somewhat limited, outdated and clunky.
