I'm curious, if the ip number changes, what method are you using to notify
your dns servers? If you, like me, use something like DirectUpdate,
it has the ability to notify you of changes when they occur.

Subject: [sambar] Admin Problem
{01}
I am the admin for several servers (running Sambar) scattered all over the
place. These servers are on "semi" dynamic IP's.. They change every 6 months
to 12 months.
I would like to have each server check in with my server (or send me an
e-mail or something) reporting their current IP and the server's name and
location. In the event the IP has changed, I can make the proper DNS changes
even before my customer knows their server is down.
I know there are programs like "Servers Alive" that uses your machine to
seek out and see if a particular server is up but since the servers IP #'s
change once in a while, this just doesn't work for me. I also like the idea of
the each server "reporting in" once a day.
I've thought about writing a perl script that would reside on my server and
have each client access the script each day as a "Scheduled Task" but when I
try this approach, the browser window stays open on the server. I'd kinda like
to make this transpearent on my customer's server..
It seems to me that there should be a simple solution to this problem but I
can't seem to come up with it. Anyone have any ideas?
