Re: "Following on from random2934 throwing a project idea out..."
This sounds like a really cool idea. so basically a "regular" dyndns service, with signup / management through Gemini?
IP update could be done easier - via a curl-like command, like `gg` [^1] or even just `netcat` [^2] with unique URL's. It's what many DynDNS providers do -- that way it's easier to automate it and you don't need special tools for it.

Following on from random2934 throwing a project idea out there. I think something that might be useful to folks is if someone was able to host a DynDNS service which used a periodic gemini request with an identity cert to update IPs for registered domains associated with that cert. Registration (including association of the identity) and management of domains and associated RR would be fairly doable via a gemini interface. Nice easy: setup of the service and add the domain(s) you intend to...
