Good morning, * Wilfried Woeber, UniVie/ACOnet
Actually, I can see the beauty of name-to-dynamic-IP-tracking, but I doubt that it is a reasonable investment to teach the small things to do dynamic DNS *centrally*.
Clearly it would be a waste of the probe's constrained resources to make it do such DNS updates itself. I didn't mean to suggest that the probe should change in any way. The central Atlas system, *already* knows all the necessary information. If you check your probe details on the web page, you will see a field called «Internet Address», which will differ from «Local Address» if the probe is behind the NAT. So my idea was simply to set up a DNS server with a custom zone backend that looked up this information directly from the central database it's stored in.
