Intro

Some notes how to setup a dynamic DNS...
Setup is based on Askarel's dynaname
Thank you Fred for the help!

Requirements

Your DNS server

apt-get install bind9

This will be the nameserver ns0.foo.org for our dynamic subdomain dyn.bar.org so this has to be announced in the primary DNS of your bar.org domain:

dyn    NS    ns0.foo.org.

To test it:

dig @your.primary.dns.for.bar.org dyn.bar.org
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
dyn.bar.org.        10800    IN    NS    ns0.foo.org.

Your dynamic IP client

apt-get install dnsutils bind9utils
git clone https://github.com/askarel/dynaname.git

Setup on client

To create e.g. home.dyn.bar.org:

cd dynaname
./dynaname -G -H home.dyn.bar.org -S ns0.foo.org

Setup on server

Copy client ns0.foo.org/etc/bind/dynaname.conf to ns0.foo.org:/etc/bind/
and add a hook into ns0.foo.org:/etc/bind/named.conf:

include "/etc/bind/dynaname.conf"

I needed to set an absolute path to the file, so in dynaname.conf change

       file "dyn/dyn.bar.org";

to

       file "/var/lib/bind/dyn/dyn.bar.org";

For info dynaname.conf should now look like:

key home.dyn.bar.org {
        algorithm HMAC-MD5;
        secret "some secret...";
};

zone "dyn.bar.org" in {
        type master;
        file "/var/lib/bind/dyn/dyn.bar.org";
        update-policy {
                grant home.dyn.bar.org name home.dyn.bar.org A AAAA TXT;
        };
};

Create ns0.foo.org:/var/lib/bind/dyn

Create ns0.foo.org:/var/lib/bind/dyn/dyn.bar.org

Content of ns0.foo.org:/var/lib/bind/dyn/dyn.bar.org

$ORIGIN .
$TTL 3600    ; 1 hour
dyn.bar.org.      IN SOA    ns0.foo.org. me.bar.org. (
                  2014060301 ; serial, increment it every time you edit file
                  600        ; refresh (10 minutes)
                  300        ; retry (5 minutes)
                  86400      ; expire (1 day)
                  300        ; minimum (5 minutes)
                  )
dyn.bar.org.      IN NS     ns0.foo.org.
$ORIGIN dyn.bar.org.

Make sure bind has RW access:

root@ns0:/var/lib/bind/dyn# ls -al
total 16
drwxrwxr-x 2 root bind 4096 Jun  3 23:44 .
drwxrwxr-x 3 root bind 4096 Jun  3 23:15 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 bind bind  389 Jun  3 23:44 dyn.bar.org

Reload bind

/etc/init.d/bind9 reload

Update from client

./dynaname -H home.dyn.bar.org -S ns0.foo.org -A 1.2.3.4
