[Xymon] DDNS instead of IP in hosts.cfg

[Gautier Begin]

Kris,

Just have look to the man page of xymonnet:

Note: xymonnet performs the connectivity test (ping) based on the 
hostname, unless the host is tagged with "testip" or the "--dns=ip" option 
is used. So the target of the connectivity test can be determined by your 
/etc/hosts file or DNS. 

Cordialement, Regards,Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

This may be a stupid question but how do I configure a host in my 
hosts.cfg file to respond to ping using a dynamic DNS name instead of an 
IP?  I'd like to have my server monitor my home router but it's IP 
changes.

Thank you.
