ddclient / Discussion / Help: 1- eth0 or ppp0 2- resources consuming

Nobody/Anonymous - 2005-01-26

hello,

I use ddclient on my previous gateway without any problem. I have made some hardware change and i restart my configuration.
It seems to work but I'm not confortable with 2 issues

my first question is:
I use ddclient 3.6.2 packaged by debian
my lan is on eth1 and my dsl is on eth0.
should I use eth0 or ppp0
in my ddclient.conf ?

my second question is:
at first I try to put a delay (1h)
and i was amazed to see that ddclient isn't friendly with my CPU
after many (...) try, i came back to a minimal installation with the default value 300 and it's work perfectly. why?

===================================

pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid
protocol=dyndns2
use=if, if=ppp0
server=members.dyndns.org
login=abc
password=abc
abc.dyndns.org

  # Set to "true" if ddclient should run in daemon mode
  run_daemon="true"
  
  # Set the time interval between the updates of the dynamic DNS name in seconds.
  # This option only takes effect if the ddclient runs in daemon mode.
  daemon_interval="1h"

    I thought there was a parsing bug in daemon_interval. Try it in seconds like 3600 (without a s behind)

      I've made some test
      3600 works fine
      3600s works fine
      3h raise the issue
      1h raise the issue
      
      should I declare a bug?

  I guess you need ppp0 since your eth0 won't contain the IP you want to put on abc.dyndns.org

    It's my first idea but when I see
    use=if, if=eth0
    everywhere on the web and on the quick help on
    http://ddclient.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=doc
    I start to become suspicious
    
    Thanks
