[HECnet] GRE Peering

[Supratim Sanyal]

Dynamic IP and GRE is a problem. Even if you have a dynamic DNS service set up (I am using duckdns.org's service happily for a while now if you need one), I don't know if Cisco IOS does a DNS lookup every time it loses a GRE connection to the destination, or even if a destination can be a domain name instead of an IP address.  There are fabulous GRE experts in this group who might chime in.

If the answer to all of the above is yes, and you are willing to move to area 31, I can give you a GRE tunnel end point on Area 31.

The other alternative is a MULTINET connection to area 31 which also I can provide if you wish. MULTINET is proven to be dynamic IP friendly.

Best,
Supratim
