Dynamic DNS update.
rudyrednose:
+1
I would like to see the development team add support for dynamic DNS.
To take advantage of traffic prioritization, the Obi202 should be the first device connected to the cable/DSL modem and act as a router, that is Modem---Obi202---WifiRouter---Home_network. That is the main reason why the 202 was developped, to act as a router.
However, as long as dynamic dns is not supported within the Obi202, I will not be able to connect the Obi202 first, and in my case I could/should have bought a Obi100
Thank you
Shameless:
What happens when you put the OBI router in bridge mode? Will that work for you? If not why not?

I see where you are going with this idea. I'm looking in to a few scenarios. I can't take my network down right now to make the changes. I'll play around with the setup Saturday night.

I currently have my Obi202 set to update it's own DNS. The method is simple and I have contacted the dynamic DNS provider to make sure the setup won't cause any problems on their end. Once they get back to me with an acceptable update interval I'll post the details. It would be very simple for OBi to add native support for this feature and I hope after posting a detailed (yet insanely simple) how to they will consider it.

Rough Draft for hackish DNS updates:
This hack will let your OBi update Dynamic DNS. It isn't perfect but it works very well. It's as simple as calling a url to update the DNS at afraid.org. I believe it would be a simple task to add this feature to the OBi firmware directly. So please add this OBiHai. Pretty please. Until then here you go.
Set up a Dynamic DNS host at http://freedns.afraid.org/
Go to the Dynamic DNS tab.
Copy the "direct" update url link.
Open your Obi admin page.
Click the System management page.
Click Auto Provisioning.
Under "ITSP Provisioning" Change the following.
Method = Periodically
Interval = This setting must be greater then 400 so not to over use resources. I use 3667.
ConfigURL = Paste the update link you got from afraid.org
Press Submit at the bottom of the page. Restart you OBi.
