=== Standards-based DDNS === The standardized method of dynamically updating domain name server records is prescribed by {{IETF RFC|2136}}, commonly known as Dynamic DNS update. The method described by RFC 2136 is a network protocol for use with managed DNS servers, and it includes a security mechanism. RFC 2136 supports all DNS record types, but often it is used only as an extension of the [[DHCP]] system, and in which the authorized DHCP servers register the client records in the DNS. This form of support for RFC 2136 is provided by a plethora of client and server software, including those that are components of most current operating systems. Support for RFC 2136 is also an integral part of many [[directory service]]s, including [[LDAP]] and [[Active Directory|Windows' Active Directory]] domains.
