Recently, ZoneEdit (a free dynamic DNS provider) changed the location of their update page that clients can hit to change the IP associated with any given domain name. The original page returns a 301 Moved Permanently, but the ez-ipupdate client doesn't understand the response and will fail to update the record. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install net-dns/ez-ipupdate-3.0.11_beta8-r4 2. Open an account with ZoneEdit (http://www.zoneedit.com/) and register a domain name 3. Attempt to update the name using ez-ipupdate, either as a daemon or in the foreground Actual Results: If running as a daemon, ez-ipupdate fails to update the name silently; if running in the foreground, it will dump an error to stdout containing the 301 Moved Permanently that the old update page returns. Expected Results: The IP associated with the given domain name should be updated. Normally, this would be an issue for upstream. However, the original maintainer is pretty unreachable - his personal email and mailing lists all run on domains that don't resolve (ironic, no?), and there's no real way of filing bugs on his web page.

Created attachment 156815 [details, diff] Change default ZoneEdit server in ez-ipupdate.c The only thing that need be changed in the original source file is the declaration of ZONEEDIT_DEFAULT_SERVER in ez-ipupdate.c. This patch makes that change, from www.zoneedit.com to dynamic.zoneedit.com. I've tested this patch on my own system and it restores functionality to the ez-ipupdate client with a ZoneEdit account.
new revision in CVS.
