If OpenDNS wasn't good enough, now this. Thank you so much! Well, it could be better if you offered an updating software yourself, though. Not that I can complain, I really love DynDNS Updater hidden update service doing its job more than well. I just thought it would be easier for your users. Thank you again! This is just awesome.

It would be an interesting option. Apple now supports it widely, and any other developer can implement it through IETF published (or draft) standards. With NAT-PMP, wide-area Bonjour allows applications within NAT-protected networks to publish persistent port mapping entries to DNS, which in turn allows other applications to connect back. The missing piece for application developers has been DNS server support. If you enabled wide-area Bonjour record publishing (through any fashion, really; even though a stub domain like blank.mdns.opendns.com), programmers could rely on using you as a central point and provide more end-to-end functions in software instead of having to roll their own or require publicly routable IPs or port mapping.

Unless I'm missing something though can I not set the programs to update an IP address to a certain network? As it stands it appears to update your IP address to all your networks.

But I can see it as a real powertool for some. PS: Where is the invisible software client on my computer doing all of this? The website service is completely useless for most users.

Having just configured my father-in-law's home network to use OpenDNS I was cringing at the next step, which would have been to configure his computer to run one of the rather cryptic dynamic DNS tools that your site used to recommend so that he could take advantage of adult site blocking and other features. After a few stop/starts I was able to get one of those tools working on my home network, but not without some duress. I am very much looking forward to the ease at which this new tool will handle that task. Couldn’t come at a better time.
