This field selects what Virtualmin contacts when it detects that the system's
IP address has changed.
The available options are described below.
- DynDNS-compatible service
- Updates a provider that implements the DynDNS update protocol. Enter the
provider's update server in the adjacent field as a hostname or
hostname:port. The default is members.dyndns.org, and
the connection always uses HTTPS. The login, password, and full hostname
fields are sent to the selected provider.
- Virtualmin system
- Asks another Virtualmin installation to update the hostname's DNS record.
Enter that system's hostname in the adjacent field, using the
hostname:port format if Webmin listens on a port other than the
default of 10000, along with login credentials that can modify the domain.
- Run external script
- Runs the absolute path entered in the adjacent field. Virtualmin passes
the new IP address, the configured hostname, and the previous IP address
to the script as command-line arguments.
- Don't update any service
- Skips notification of an external service. Dynamic address detection and
optional updates to local virtual servers can still remain enabled.
