SFML projects / Re: Heartbeat - a dynamic DNS client / server for GANDI DNS

The only part I don't really understand right now is the server (didn't look at the code so far). Why do you need that step? Wouldn't it be enough to talk to the DNS directly?
Indeed, the server part should be enough (with a few tweaks), you can find some python scripts or event a C version of an equivalent program on the internet.
However, i need to manage several dynamic public ip adresses (my dad's, my uncle's, a broke friend's which cannot offer himself a public domain name...). In a simple client/server configuration this would have meant sharing my Gandi api key with them and i'm not found of that idea.
A python (or Java) based script was also out of the question because it needed to run on small devices like routers.
