1.- I’m planning to set up some services in my home (IT enthusiast, exposing some APIs, you name it).

2.- I have two ISPs (both with dynamic IP).

3.- I’d love to take advantage of (2) to get basic load distribution/fault tolerance.

4.- I’ve read that some free ddns services offers this feature but IIRC in theirs non-free tiers

What about DuckDNS?

I thinkthat the answer is “No”. Why am I saying that?

  • I have found no info related to this topic in their site
  • Their API seems to lack any way to correlate which A record you are intending to update (old ip for example) in case you have multiple A records pointing to the same name

So, why am I asking this here?

  • ChatGPT told me that they support this feature ( at this point I think that it has lied to me though)
  • In case I’m missing something and they actually support this.

Thank you so much!

Best.
