dnspark Dynamic DNS uses new server name

[me@…]

Per an  upstream bug, the server for dnspark has changed to www.dnspark.net.

I worked around this by copying /usr/share/zentyal/stubs/network/ddclient.conf.mas to /usr/share/zentyal/stubs/network/ddclient.conf.mas and changing the server=<% $server %> line to server=www.dnspark.net.

Also note that the same upstream bug means that dnspark Dynamic DNS doesn't work unless you apply the  patch provided there.

Since that ticket is so old maybe Zentyal should apply that patch, build a ddclient deb and put it up on the PPA.

Thanks a lot for your pointers, R. Patterson.

We cannot maintain a patched version of ddclient, we have to wait for upstream.

I have committed the code to disable dnspark in the next version of zentyal-network, we will enable it back hen the issue is solved in ddclient.

While the ddclient bug has not been resolved, ddclient 3.8.0 works for me with the following ddclient.conf:

daemon=300 # check every 300 seconds syslog=yes # log update msgs to syslog pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid # record PID in file.

login=username # DNS Park DDNS username password=password # DNS Park password

use=web, web=ipdetect.dnspark.com, web-skip='Current Address:' protocol=dnspark domain.name.here.com

I don't know if dnspark has changed their behavior to accept the HTTP URL once again or what, but it appears to work. Can anyone confirm?
