DNS update via API and the white list

[gardavis]

If my home web server's IP changes, I use a client to update DynDns with the new IP. The client can also run a program when the IP changes. I plan on having it run a program that uses the DASP API to update a DNS A record.

However, I don't this this will work since if my IP changes, it will no longer be in my white list - sort of a catch-22.

Is there some other type of security that will allow me to run an API request besides the white list?

My only other option would be to have the program call an aspx webpage on a different (white-listed) web server to do the update indirectly on behalf of the home web server.

Thanks,
Gary Davis

Gary, you can whitelist the server IP and run the program from your web site. You shouldn't have a problem with that as the server IP will remain the same. But if you access the API from home, yeah, you will have to update the whitelist manually I'm afraid.
