Dynamic DNS update support

[berrnd]

Hi,

first - thanks for nsedit! :) Just upgraded today my nameservers to PowerDNS 4.x and also replaced poweradmin with nsedit...

The only thing I was missing, is dynamic DNS update support (the thing you need when your home router gets a new IP every night).

I have implemented this right now. Because routers normally require HTTP basic authentication, the current login mechanism is not working for that. I have used the "adminapikey" as password, and fix "admin" as username. Don't know if this is good or not...

Feel free to use it, or if this looks good to you I could also create a pull rquest - everything should be explained in the header of dynamic_update.php.

You're welcome!

I'm not sure if I find nsedit the correct place to do this. Is this dynamic update what is described here: https://doc.powerdns.com/md/authoritative/dnsupdate/

We might be able to do something with that?

Didn't read in full - but as far I can see this is nothing that takes a simple HTTP GET request with basic authentication and updates the given records (this is the way the most when not all consumer routers do dynamic DNS updates).

(Poweradmin also had that, same named PHP script.)

Ok, had a good nights sleep and figured that we can incorporate this, but we are going to fix it with users and ownership of the domain. Not yet sure how, but that makes sense the most.

you can do basic authentification with php and plug it into the allready existing user db: http://php.net/manual/de/features.http-auth.php
