-Introduction
-------------
-If your BBS computer or router has a dynamically-assigned IP address (e.g. via
-DHCP or PPP), you need a dynamic hostname so that your BBS users can always
-logon to your BBS without knowing your current IP address (since it can change
-at any time).
-
-Even if you have a static (never changing) IP address, it is much more
-friendly to users to provide them with a hostname than an IP address with
-which to logon to your BBS. Humans find it much easier to remember (and type)
-"vert.synchro.net" than "69.104.209.210".
-
-There are many dynamic DNS services available on the Internet (most are free).
-Here are some popular DynDNS services (not associated with Synchronet):
-
-	http://www.dtdns.com/
-	http://www.no-ip.com/
-	http://www.dyndns.org/
-	http://www.zoneedit.com/
-	http://www.d2g.com/
-	http://www.bbs.us/dns/
-
-Some of these services can even host full domain names (e.g. yourbbs.com) with
-dynamic IP updates and even provide advanced services such as mail-relaying
-and port-forwarding (sometimes for a fee). All of these services require some
-3rd party software to run in the background when your system boots and
-automatically detect changes to your IP address (not strictly required if you
-have a static IP address).
-
-
-yourbbs.synchro.net
--------------------
-If you'd like a "synchro.net" hostname, we offer a free, very easy-to-use
-dynamic hostname service exclusively for Synchronet sysops. Your synchro.net
-hostname will always point to your current IP address, as long as your BBS
-is running. Using this service requires Synchronet v3.10 or later (for Win32
-or Unix).
-
-Directions:
-
-1. Download the following file into your Synchronet "exec" directory:
-   http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/exec/dyndns.js
-
-2. If you haven't already, create a QWK networking account on Vertrauen
-   (telnet://vert.synchro.net), using your BBS's QWK-ID for the username
-   (see http://synchro.net/docs/dove-net.txt for more details).
-
-   Note: You do not have to actually join DOVE-Net to get a synchro.net
-         hostname, if you do not wish.
-
-3. Setup a timed event (in SCFG->External Programs->Timed Events) to run the 
-   command-line "?dyndns yourpass" periodically, where yourpass is the
-   password you used when you created your QWK networking account on
-   Vertrauen. "DYNDNS" is the suggested internal code to use for this event.
-   
-   If you have a frequently changing IP address (and Synchronet v3.11 or
-   later) set "Always Run After Init/Re-init" to "Yes". With this option set
-   to "Yes", frequent timed updates should not be necessary.
-
-   If you have a static IP address, one run (update) per month should be
-   sufficient.
-
-   Make sure the "Enabled" is set to "Yes".
-
-4. After saving your changes in SCFG, and verifying that the BBS/Telnet Server
-   has recycled, check the event log window or console output to verify that
-   the "DYNDNS" event has executed. You can force the event to execute with
-   the (Win32) SBBSCTRL:BBS->Force Timed Event menu option, or by "touching"
-   (creating or modifying) the file "dyndns.now" in your Synchronet data
-   directory.
-
-5. Attempt to ping or connect to services at your-id.synchro.net, where
-   your-id is your BBS's QWK-ID. It may take a few minutes for a new hostname
-   to become active or for an existing hostname to resolve to a newly changed
-   IP address. 
-
-You're ready to go with your new synchro.net hostname!
-
-
-Options
--------
--mx [hostname]
-DNS MX (mail exchange) resource records are used to designate a specific
-hostname as the "mail exchange" (receiving SMTP server) for a specific
-hostname. If there is no MX record, then the hostname itself is assumed to
-perform the role of "mail exchange". Some receiving SMTP servers now require
-that the *sending* SMTP server correspond to the MX record of the "from"
-hostname. If you want to specify an MX record for your hostname, you can do
-so by adding "-mx" (optionally followed by a hostname) to your "?dyndns"
-command-line (after the password). If no hostname is specified, then an MX
-record pointing back to your hostname will be created. Example:
-	"?dyndns password -mx mail.someother.org"
-
--hn <base_hostname>
-If you want to update a hostname that is *different* than your BBS's QWK-ID,
-then you can specify that hostname (QWK-ID) on the "?dyndns" command-line
-(after the password) by using the "-hn" option followed by the hostname
-to use (not including ".synchro.net"). There must be a corresponding QWKnet
-account on Vertrauen for the specified hostname and password.
-
-[ip_address]
-If for some reason you want to specify a *different* IP address than the one
-that your BBS will be using to connect with Vertrauen, you can include that IP
-address on the "?dyndns" command-line (after the password). This is an
-advanced feature that you should not need to use under normal conditions, even
-if your BBS is behind a firewall/router using network address translation
-(NAT) - the DynDNS server running on Vertrauen uses your correct *public* IP
-address by default.
