My DNS is through Zoneedit.com (to support Dynamic DNS) 2. I use Dynamic DNS Client 5.0 to update Zoneedit.com when my IP address changes This all works fine, but I have not found a Linux replacement for Dynamic DNS Client 5.0 Info: My DSL box uses NAT, and is set up to forward http traffic to the web server, so the IP address as seen by the internet is not the same as the actual apache web server address.

Is there anyway I can configure this type of connection under Linux?
