Basically, you're enabling users to update their ip address (dynamic because of dial up) on the DNS server through a server apps. Three questions - the ip in your example is an internal one. It is gonna be an externa ip that will be sent to the server right ? Another question is on encryption. How much encryption are you looking for ? x509 cert connection ? or just a normal https. You could probably zip the file up with a password and ftp it. And then on the server, it can unzip it using the password stored in the user database. Lastly, whom you are emailing after the dns entry is updated. The user ? or the admin. You said 'to the dns etries'. If you're running windows 2003 server, i'd advice you to use web services :) because win2003 server have a DNS server built in. The solution will be more integrated. But my suggestion is to use the .NET technology, and the admin web page will done using asp.net with C#/VB.NET as the codebehind and access 2000 / SQL as the database backend. I have developed a great number of asp.net admin pages. I'm certain this could be accomplished in 2 weeks. Kenneth           See 7 private reply(ies) to/from kenn.
