#3 add explicit "zone" option

[Anonymous]

There are cases where it is necessary to explicitly
specify the zone separately from the hostname.

My case: my domain is ericworden.seattle.wa.us. If
I don't specify the zone, ZoneEdit assumes it
is "seattle.wa.us", which is incorrect.

This patch adds an explicit "zone" option resulting
in a suffix like this:
&dnsto=1.2.3.4&zone=myhost.domain.org

Dear Sir,

The problem is that the dynamic dns client is trying
to edit the zone seattle.wa.us instead of the zone
ericworden.seattle.wa.us.

SUCCESS CODE="200" TEXT="Update succeeded."
ZONE="seattle.wa.us" HOST="ericworden.seattle.wa.us"
IP="71.231.218.74">

You need to modify the dynamic dns script and make
sure that the zone is ericworden.seattle.wa.us.

You can try this:

http://dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?zone=ericworden.seattle.wa.us

Let me know if you still have any other questions.
Thank you.

Best Regards,
Grace

Incident created due to reply to expired incident
060930-001469.

Can you please have another look? I haven't seen any
change in
behavior. My update app (python script) hits
dynamic.zoneedit.com.
In an email following this one I will attach the
script. Thanks for
your help.
