I'm trying to setup Dynamic IP Update, and for Dynamic DNS service the only option in the dropdown list is DynDNS. Is there a way to configure the system to use ZoneEdit.com's services? If so, what steps would need to be taken? I'm comfortable with using the console and editing files, so if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
This is a clean install of Virtualmin 3.63 GPL (using the scripts) on a Ubuntu 8.04 server (clean install). This is only for a home network/hobby project of mine, so it's not really mission critical, but I am trying to figure this out.
I really don't like the idea of spending more for DNS service than the cost of my domain(s) cost me. At least with ZoneEdit I can host 5 domains for free, where DynDNS it would cost over $125US for the same 5 domains.

this might not be the easiest route to take but the file where dyndns is in is:
/usr/libexec/webmin/virtual-server/dynip-lib.pl
and it seems that in this part you can add the zoneEdit stuff
<div class='quote'># list_dynip_services()
# Returns a list of supported dynamic DNS services
sub list_dynip_services
{
return ( { 'name' => 'dyndns',
'desc' => $text{'dynip_dyndns'} },
);
}</div>
However I am by no means a qualified scripter and you should ask Joe, Jamie or Eric before you change anything

Thanks. Now I just need to figure out where all the connection info is stored, add zoneedit's data, and make sure the variables are passed properly. If I can figure it out I'd be happy to post my notes. While I'm doing zoneedit it probably wouldn't be much harder to add a few other DDNS options to the mix. Anyone got recommendations on who else they'd like to see added?
