[solved] More than one dynDNS domain per service

[matzus]

I’d like to bind more than one domain to the same IP address and machine. In all cases, the dynDNS service provider is “namecheap”.

Is this feasible at all? If so, how do I do it?

Hello, @matzus!
Have you tried to simply add more than one domains to settings?

set service dns dynamic interface iface_name service namecheap host-name domain_name1
set service dns dynamic interface iface_name service namecheap host-name domain_name2

Hi @zsdc,

at the moment I have one domain and a number of subdomains configured, so that I may reach different services under example1.com / subexample1.example1.com / subexample2.example1.com and so forth. The login name is the string ‘example1.com’.

set service dns dynamic interface eth0 service namecheap login ‘example1.com’
set service dns dynamic interface eth0 service namecheap host-name ‘@’
set service dns dynamic interface eth0 service namecheap host-name ‘subexample1’
set service dns dynamic interface eth0 service namecheap host-name ‘subexample2’

Now I’d like to add example2.com, but as I understand it, there can only be one login per dynDNS service in the configuration.

I hope this was comprehensible

So, you want to use two different accounts on Namecheap? Still possible with a little trick:

set service dns dynamic interface eth0 service namecheap host-name 'host1'
set service dns dynamic interface eth0 service namecheap login 'user1'
set service dns dynamic interface eth0 service namecheap password 'passwd1'
set service dns dynamic interface eth0 service custom host-name 'host2'
set service dns dynamic interface eth0 service custom login 'user2'
set service dns dynamic interface eth0 service custom password 'passwd2'
set service dns dynamic interface eth0 service custom protocol 'namecheap'
set service dns dynamic interface eth0 service custom server 'dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com'

Good advice, thank you! I’m marking this as “solved”.
