Sorry for the separate thread but I’ve found what I think is now the correct approach to using named servers behind with dynamic IP’s.
According to the help Dynamic IP Updates are ‘useful if you are running Virtualmin on a system with an address that occasionally changes, such as one running on in a virtual machine environment like Amazon’s EC2’ - Perfect!
However I’ve searched the forums and yet to find anyone provide a clear step by step of how to set this up, I must have spent 8 or 9 hours on this now, it’s driving crazy
I’ve enabled dynamic updates but its not updating the address for the virtual hosts. Every time I reboot I get a new local IP address and Dynamic IP update currently reports:
Dynamic update enabled? Yes
Dynamic DNS service DYNDNS - (Don’t understand this - it’s the only option and I dont use dyndns)
Full hostname to update: localhost.localdomain
Source of IP address: Primary network interface
Last updated IP address Not updated yet
Primary interface IP address 10.48.242.24
Externally visible IP address 79.125.121.96
My virtual servers are stuck on the address I had when I created them:
Virtual Server 10.48.45.25 80 beta2.goalaccelerator.co.uk
Virtual Server 10.48.45.25 80 test2.goalaccelerator.co.uk
I presume I’m missing something obvious here.
