Re: Dynamic DNS with the Pi
I've used ddclient with success. The only problem I found is that it used too much precious memory as it uses 'sleep' between scheduled ip checks. What I've done instead is use a python script that I can put in the cron to check checkip.dyndns.org at very regular intervals and update my DNS provider (zoneedit in this case). http://zoneclient.sourceforge.net/
I'm sure there must be other generic scripts out there that can do the same thing for other DNS providers.

Now _that's_ creative thinking. Thanks! Will grab that script when I get home!

Re: Dynamic DNS with the Pi
If you have a Router supporting DDNS you can setup there, so you avoid installing one more thing on the Pi.

Raspberry Pi Mod.B Rev.2 512Mb Ram (Maybe i´ll get one)

Re: Dynamic DNS with the Pi
What are some routers that support this, that you recommend
that will run out of the box?

What dynamic DNS service are you trying to use/abuse with your RPi?
