Dynamic DNS Update Script for Hurricane Electric DNS

This script will update the IP address on (Hurricane Electric DNS service).

It updates the A/AAAA record so both IPv4 and IPv6 can be supplied.

It uses the fetch command with the url= parameter. Check that your version of RouterOS -> /tool fetch supports this option.

The following URL to supply update information is used:

• For auto IP detection:

http://dyn.example.com:password@dyn.dns.he.net/nic/update?hostname=dyn.example.com

• For manually setting the IP address:

http://dyn.example.com:password@dyn.dns.he.net/nic/update?hostname=dyn.example.com&myip=192.168.0.1
