# go-nsupdate
Update dynamic DNS records from netlink.

`go-nsupdate` reads interface addresses from netlink, updating on `ip link up/down` and `ip addr add/del` events.

The set of active interface IPv4/IPv6 addresses is used to send DNS `UPDATE` requests to the primary NS for a DNS zone.

The DNS update requests are retried in the background (XXX: currently blocks for 10s on each query attempt).

## Install

    go get -v github.com/qmsk/go-nsupdate
