Create/Transfer a small DNS Name server #5

Open pato opened 8 years ago

pato commented 8 years ago

Either transfer the existing smallDNS that I wrote, or build a new file-based DNS system where robots log into master server and in a specified folder update a file (named based on the hostname) with the IP address

@pato: If possible, could you also look into using something like a free (or paid) dynamic dns service? Something like: http://www.noip.com/free

It might be easier for us to use something like this in the long run.

pato commented 8 years ago

@piyushk As we discussed, I do not think a publicly hosted dynamic dns service is the best way to go since the robots are only accessible within the NAT. Ill make sure that whatever solution we go with is well document and simple enough that we can continue to use it in the long run

I can't ping clamps.csres.utexas.edu from my home system.

What is the command to get the raw IP address? I can't find that.
