What's rddc?

rddc aims to be a highly customizable, easy to use dynamic dns update client. Currently rddc is still in beta development. Nevertheless it should already be stable enough for general use.

While rddc should theoretically run on all operating systems that have a ruby interpreter, it has only been tested under linux.
