Update a nameserver entry at inwx with the current WAN IP (DynDNS)

Nameserver update for INWX (nsupdate)

This shell script implements dynamic DNS using the inwx API, i.e., it updates nameserver entries with your current WAN IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Requirements

In order to run you need to have curl and awk installed, as well as drill or nslookup.

Installation

Simply download the master.zip and extract it, e.g., using wget and 7z x master.zip.

Place your config files in the nsupdate.d folder. A sample.config.dist is provided. At least one config file needs to exist, ending with `.config.
