I got it to work, using the "/tool dns-update" command. Unfortunately, I have to key in the radio's IP address; I haven't found a way to have the radio *automatically* update my DNS server. However, on the MikroTik web site, there appear to be scripts I can adapt ... If you get your DHCP server to send assigned IP addresses to the DNS server for hamwan.net, then I can just CNAME to that. There's no rush; who knows if/when I will ever need/use it.

1. Not presently. Eventually there will be some fancier stuff that will route your "user subnet" to you, and you'll get "link local" IPs over DHCP just to get things started. For now, you just get a global IP, and will *probably* get the same IP, but it's not guaranteed. 2. I'm not sure offhand. 3. Presently no, but we are working on the hamwan.net <http://hamwan.net> authoritative anycast nameservers which will do this.

DNS questions:
1. Do I always get the same IP address (using the same MAC)? If so, I will just add it to my DNS server. 2. If not, does that radio support DDNS updates to a configurable BIND DNS server (if, so I couldn't find it). 3. Do you create a hostname on an externally visible domain?
