I have a networking question

[G+_Storm Mcleod]

I have a networking question. Is there a way for me to change my NS record for lookups for my dynamic ip address? Is this something I can do myself or something I request from my ISP? Do I need to go static? I got my own DNS servers, I got Domains as well.

Oh while on the topic of networking and you have time. I currently got a messy network setup and working on straighten it out. I been using my Linksys g router with dd-wrt as my DHCP to pass out IPs mainly for my wireless devices. I got the important ones static mapped.  I have a managed switch behind my router. I having trouble getting my switch to pass DHCP from my router to devices I do not have static mapped.  Though I plan on changing my router out for pfsense firewall and move the router in behind my switch to use for just wireless. I believe I can have my windows or linux servers manage my DHCP but not sure out to get my switch and router to pass DHCP from my server to devices needing.

Oh yeah one more thing sorry, I got a IP security cam. The web GUI and motion detection is aweful. Well doesn’t work for me. I manage to get a little bit of hacking worked out on that I can stream the feed to VLC, oh yeah! That was awesome. So I starting looking at some opensource or freeware options that I can run from my server that might do a better job?

You means the reverse lookups?  or just "stormMcleod.com"

DynDNS noIP etc all will resolve dynamic ISP provided IPs.  Your router should be able to update the selected service when your IP changes.

 

My IP changes so rarely I just manually modify the A record. for one domain, and let DyDNS do it automatically for the other.  (I have seen python scripts that will update the A record on a GoDaddy registrar.)

 

But if I do a whois against my IP, it shows my ISP as the owner.  If thats what you are going after, then you would have to talk to your ISP.  But I'd bet they will just say get a static IP/Biz account.
