I stand corrected: it looks like Netscreen does do DDNS in the later
code releases. If you like Netscreen take a closer look at it and
confirm it does the DynDNS (I don't have one within reach so I can't
login and confirm it for you, but the latest release docs suggest it
does DynDNS.) I think they're great firewalls.

Netscreen doesn't do Dynamic DNS (neither does Fortinet, which is
Netscreen at about half the cost.) Dynamic DNS sounds like a good
choice for your client. DNS is definitely the easiest way to direct the
VPN clients to the gateway.
You can install simple and free clients to keep something like DynDNS
updated. For instance, here's a list of clients that will keep you
updated on DynDNS.org:
http://www.dyndns.org/support/clients/dyndns.html. (DynDNS.org is @:
http://www.dyndns.org/services/dns/dyndns) ... if those clients don't
suit you, more clients are available on www.sourceforge.net. (I don't
endorse any particular dynamic DNS service, but DynDNS was the one you
were asking about.)
Good luck.

Look at Planet VRT-311 or DLink DI-804HV.

Hi everyone,
one of my customers needs a firewall with VPN but they do not have a
static
IP-Address with their internet connection and I doubt they are willing
to
pay getting one. So I am looking for a small device, maybe with DMZ
port,
that supports DynDNS.
My favourite one, esp. because of the price, is a Cyberguard SG570
(former
Snapgear) but I am not sure if it provides DynDNS functionality. The
other
option I have explored so far is a Netscreen device.
So does anyone of you know if these firewalls support DynDNS and if
not, do
you have any other suggestions?
