Problem
I have a SQL server that has a dynamic IP address. However I have a url e.g. ‘mydynamic.com’
which is automatically updated to the current IP of the SQL server
Requirement
I need a script (vb/bat) that can take this URL and resolves the IP. Then take a config file and replace a placeholder with that IP. The idea is that the config file will always point to the correct IP.
In most configuration files, you can either use an IP based or FQDN based approach to locating/connecting to your server. If your IP is changing (ie dynamic), try placing the FQDN in place of the IP address so that DNS will do the resolution for you to your SQL server.
