When DNS-O-Matic is running it checks the current ip every 5min and compares it to the cached ip in /tmp/oldip.DNS-O-Matic.
If it is different it then updates the ip.
I was wanting to update the ip once every day or be able to change how often it updates, and force the update even if the ip is the same. I cant see anywhere to do this....
What I have done is create a cron job to change the cached ip once a day. this seems to work, I was just wondering if there was another way?
This makes very little sense...
- updating once per day gives the potential for your web address to be unavailable for up to 1 day
- probing the current ip address adds next to no additional loading to your NAS so why the need to change?
- updating when the address has not changed doesn't achieve anything
So what problem are you actually trying to solve?
