      Hi, I have more then one WAN and i want to bind them to different hostnames.
      they are all DHCP..
      blabla0.mine.nu > WAN
      blabla1.mine.nu > WAN1
      blabla2.mine.nu > WAN2
      blabla3.mine.nu > WAN3
      blabla4.mine.nu > WAN4

      Can i manage multiple Dynamic DNS?

        Under 1.2.x, I'm not sure, but I don't believe this is possible.

        Under 2.0-Alpha-Alpha, I'm under the impression that this is under development.  It doesn't seem to work yet, however, as any Interface other than the primary WAN with a dynamic DNS account attached, doesn't update correctly.

        See thread:  http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,13126 for more details…

        Running 2.0-ALPHA, updated almost daily on
        Athlon 1.4Ghz, 768MB PC100, 3 NIC's (2x10/100, 1xGB), 20G HDD,
        Currently Dual-WAN (1 cable 6M/512K, 1 DSL 7M/768K), Single LAN
        Working on adding 1 WiFi WAN and 2 cellular (when we're home with our phones)

          If you can specify an IP in the string you send to your DDNS provider it might be possible to customize http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,9729.msg55580.html#msg55580 (I've added it to the Fit123 package) to your needs.

              You might also want to consider http://dnsomatic.com/. It's a free service which basically replicates your dynamic DNS updates out to multiple recipients; so in theory, you could use it to send multiple updates to dyndns (I'm not familiar with how DynDNS product offerings). dns-o-matic uses the same API as DynDNS so even tho it doesn't work out of the box for pfSense, all you need to do is hack the hostname that the DynDNS configure points to.

              Another possibility is to have those other hostnames all be CNAME's of one dynamic one. It wouldn't really work for anything which is also an MX (I think RFC 822 specifies that MX should not point to CNAMEs?); but it might suffice.

              EveryDNS's dynamic system will also update multiple A records simultaneously. When you create a "dynamic domain", you can add additional records to the domain. If any of those additional records have the value "IP", it will also receive the same IP when a dynamic update occurs. EveryDNS is not supported in pfSense; so I run a script off my server. There API is pretty straight forward; so  I was going to try and find time to add it to pfSense.
