Objective
Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) is an addition to the DNS standard. Dynamic DNS updates a DNS server with new or changed records for IP addresses without the need for human intervention. This allows a fully qualified domain name that never changes to be associated with a dynamically assigned IP address that can change quite often.
This document explains how to configure DDNS service settings on the WRVS4400N with the use of the web configuration utility.
