| 188808 | 2003-11-03 00:18:00 | Greetings, Ive gone and set myself up an account with Dynu.com (If anybody can recommend any other Dynamic Update (Free plz) DNS services, Im all ears...!!) I ran NeoTrace Express on myself (Ive setup a webserver) and it appeared to be going to some east-african place and back, but I couldnt be too sure. How do I know if its going to be counted as National Bandwidth or International when transferring to/from that, as I'm running FTP also. Does it only count the international bandwidth for the users connecting to me when its doing the dynamic DNS resolution, or will it count the whole transfer as International? Is that clear or am I getting confused? Cheers Chill. |

I have been trying to understand national and international traffic, as data can travel in any direction it wants, but I believe it's the final destination that counts, and considering the service just adds your IP to the DNS server, I would say it's considered National. Users who aren't National connecting to you will result in International traffic, but only for information being sent from your server to them. |

Here are two below I, which I have tried: http://www.no-ip.com/ http://www.dyndns.org/ (nz_liam use this one when he had is own server up) Their are both good. Or if you are running a domain name e.g. chill.net or something like that then you could try minidns: http://www.minidns.net/ > I ran NeoTrace Express on myself (Ive setup a > webserver) and it appeared to be going to some > east-african place and back, but I couldnt be too > sure. did you do it on your server IP address or on your DNS name??? Hope this helps :) |

| 188812 | 2003-11-03 02:08:00 | I know people that use no-ip.org and I'm sure that they would have complained by now if it didn't get classed as national. The DNS server is international though. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 188813 | 2003-11-03 02:36:00 | The charging will be by "packet" . HTTP is a connectionless protocol; each packet is a separate operation . People will access your website as, say, "www . chill . nz/" . That address will be resolved (by a DNS server) to the IP address "somewhere . in . africa/" . What that site should send back to the requestor is a "Permanent Redirection" error with your IP address, which it has stored . So the client's browser will resend the request with your IP address, and temporarily cache the "correct" IP address . Then future requests to your site by that client (including using links inside your site pointing to your site) will be sent directly to your site because the client will have the cached address . Use ethereal or one of the other packet capturing programmes to watch a session . |

| 188814 | 2003-11-03 02:43:00 | So basically its as I thought, and the DNS resolution is International, but the transfer is national once its worked out my IP?! I've tried No-ip and its not picking up my routers IP correctly... I tried DynDNS a while back on Dial-Up but went with No-IP coz it worked better.. I s'pose I could give it another shot :-) Any other Dynamic DNS Services? |

| 188816 | 2003-11-03 04:12:00 | Have you tried and tested this, or is it a google result? ;-) | Chilling_Silently (228) | ||
| 188817 | 2003-11-03 06:00:00 | Friend of mine uses it. Mainly because you can buy your own domain name and get it listed there. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
