Hi Guys,

I have a home server (dynamic IP) that I'd like to keep automatically updated in DNS.

Can someone point me to some examples of how to leverage the linode api to do this? Sadly, I'm not a programmer (yet).

I remember with zoneedit, I could schedule a cronjob to issue a wget command to 'http://dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=www.domain.com' to keep things synced up.

Could I so something similar for linode?
