[HamWAN PSDR] DNS questions

[Dean Gibson AE7Q]

I got it to work, using the "/tool dns-update" command. Unfortunately, I 
have to key in the radio's IP address;  I haven't found a way to have 
the radio *automatically* update my DNS server.  However, on the 
MikroTik web site, there appear to be scripts I can adapt ...

If you get your DHCP server to send assigned IP addresses to the DNS 
server for hamwan.net, then I can just CNAME to that.  There's no rush;  
who knows if/when I will ever need/use it.
