Description: ===============================
        Schlundtech Dynamic DNS updater
        ===============================
        
        This packages provides a way to update DNS records programmatically,
        for customers of `Schlundtech`_, using their `XML-Gateway`_.
        
        Many thanks to https://github.com/martinlowinski/php-dyndns for doing the heavy
        lifting of figuring out how to talk to the XML-Gateway in a way that actually
        makes it do what we want.

        Usage
        =====
        
        First, you need to create a subdomain with an A-record in your domain, say
        ``home.example.com``.
        
        Then you can use the command-line utility provided by this package, like so::
        
            $ schlund-ddns --username USER --password PASS home.example.com 1.2.3.4
        
        (See ``ddns-update --help`` for more configuration parameters, e.g. the
        ``context`` that you were told to use when applying for the XML-Gateway.)
        
        
        Alternatively, set up the provided cgi script ``schlund-ddns-cgi`` to provide
        HTTP access. You'll need to provide username and password using a configuration
        file and then passing that file's path as an environment variable. Here's an
        example apache configuration snippet to do this::
        
            ScriptAlias /dns-update /path/to/ddns/schlund-ddns-cgi
            <Directory /path/to/ddns/>
              SetEnv DDNS_CONFIG /path/to/ddns/config
              SetEnv PATH_INFO /
        
              AuthName "Dynamic DNS"
              AuthType Basic
              AuthUserFile /path/to/ddns/htpasswd
              require valid-user
            </Directory>
            
        The configuration file is a standard ini file and should look like this::
        
            [default]
            username = USER
            password = PASS
        
        The HTTP protocol is modeled after the one from `NoIP`_, that is, clients
        should perform a request like this to trigger a DNS update::
        
            http://example.com/dns-update?hostname=home.example.com&myip=1.2.3.4
        
        
        .. _`NoIP`: http://www.noip.com/integrate/request
