[Ddclient-support] ddclient with Apple Airport Extreme

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Using latest version of ddclient downloaded from Sourceforge.net

My DNS is managed at dyndns.com,  I ran their config file generator 
which produced the following file:

## ddclient configuration file
daemon=600
# check every 600 seconds
syslog=yes
# log update msgs to syslog
mai...@ea... # Mail failed updates to user
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid
# record PID in file.
## Detect IP with our CheckIP server
use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.com/, web-skip='IP Address'
## DynDNS username and password here
login=I HAVE HIDDEN FOR THIS EXAMPLE
password=I HAVE HIDDEN FOR THIS EXAMPLE
## Default options
protocol=dyndns2
server=members.dyndns.org
## Dyn Standard DNS hosts
custom=yes, cosworthvega.com
## Apple Airport Router IP
use fw, fw=192.168.1.1

Note: best I could tell from docs... I added the previous line to get info

The Apple Airport Extreme DOES NOT have a web interface.  You manage it 
by Apple proprietary AirPort Utility.

---------------------------------

 From the ddclient download distributeion,  README.md

I then ran:

[root@www ddclient]# ddclient -daemon=0 -query
use=if, if=eno1 address is 192.168.1.90
use=if, if=lo address is 127.0.0.1
use=if, if=virbr0 address is 192.168.122.1
use=if, if=virbr0-nic address is NOT FOUND
use=web, web=dnspark address is 208.118.20.149
use=web, web=dyndns address is 208.118.20.149
use=web, web=loopia address is 208.118.20.149
use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.com/ address is 208.118.20.149
