Dynamic ip address

Use your hostname instead of IP, that should not change

Subject: [Nagios-users] Dynamic ip address

Hi,

New on the list but after looking around, couldn't find what I'm looking
for.

I have got some servers I'd like to monitor but they are on dynamic
ip's. Cable and DSL that is.

It's no problem to monitor but whenever the DSL connection get's
disconnected to get a new IP address, the DNS entry changes, and my
nagios host resolves it to the 'old' ip.. So the host gets marked as
'down' at that moment.

Any idea on how to avoid (magic trick?) this, because now I get a
notification because the host is assumed to be down..


Greetings,
Kristof.
