Re: Can i set up bind9 with dynamic ip?

 It's a pppoe connection.
 The ip address is changed almost every time i start the computer.
 Can i set up bind9 with this ip(not static/broadband ip address)?

It'll be a hack. But you *could* in principle restart bind every time
the address changes, to get it to listen to the new address. And then
you'd also have to change the A records for whatever NS records are
pointing to the zones on this name server. Don't expect this to work
well...

Every hour BIND scans the network interfaces and updates the addresses 
that it listens on to match.  You can control this frequency with the 
interface-interval configuration option.

Maybe there's also an rndc command that will cause it to re-scan.

Setting up a recursive resolver for your own use on a dynamic IP is easy, just 
don't specify an IP address to bind to in your named.conf file, and named will 
listen on all interfaces.  An authoritative zone or zones on a dynamic IP 
address is a whole other set of challenges.

 If it's possible then must i make/register a domain name to map that domain 
 name with that dynamic ip address?
