I have a linux script that calls curl to open the update URL whenever my external IP address change.
The script also updates three other A records in the same domain.
Out of the total four records, one of them is always NOT changed when querying the zoneedit ns servers.
I update like this:
/usr/bin/curl -k --interface $PPP_IFACE -u user: password https://dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=$hostname
PPP_IFACE is the name of the interface raised by the pppd process
To verify that I am doing things right, I am also logging the server response, like this:
/usr/bin/logger "$(echo curl:; until /usr/bin/curl -k --interface $PPP_IFACE -u user: pass https://dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=$hostname; do sleep 600; done)
as I said I have four hosts to update and my logs show that all four get the same IP:
`Feb 3 00:33:41 homerouter logger: curl:#012<SUCCESS CODE="200" TEXT="mydomain.ro updated to 5.12.18X.XX" ZONE="mydomain.ro">
Feb 3 00:33:42 homerouter logger: curl:#012<SUCCESS CODE="200" TEXT="XXX.mydomain.ro updated to 5.12.18X.XX" ZONE="XXX.mydomain.ro">
Feb 3 00:33:43 homerouter logger: curl:#012<SUCCESS CODE="200" TEXT="XXXXXXXX.mydomain.ro updated to 5.12.18X.XX" ZONE="XXXXXXXX.mydomain.ro">
Feb 3 00:33:44 homerouter logger: curl:#012<SUCCESS CODE="200" TEXT="www.mydomain.ro updated to 5.12.18X.XX" ZONE="www.mydomain.ro">`
However, when querying the nameservers, "XXX" always gets some old IP and not the one that is mentioned in response logged. Precisely, it is exactly the IP that was ok BEFORE the pppd reconnect, and that IP was correctly updated on the other three records.
I query like this:
#dig @ns13.zoneedit.com XXX.mydomain.ro a
I'll add an intriguing note that in my user control panel all four host records show up as expected with same IP address. Querying the record in question from a "looking-glass"-type system from another country also shows the same old IP.
I don't know for how long is this happening but surely isn't a one or two day old issue, but rather something like more than a week.
