Enable or disable updates to a Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service. When the FortiGate 
unit has a static domain name and a dynamic public IP address, select DDNS Enable 
to force the unit to update the DDNS server each time the address changes. In turn, 
the DDNS service updates Internet DNS servers with the new IP address for the 
domain.

Dynamic DNS is available only in NAT/Route mode.

Add a ping server to an interface if you want the FortiGate unit to confirm connectivity 
with the next hop router on the network connected to the interface. Adding a ping 
server is required for routing failover. See 

The FortiGate unit uses dead gateway detection to ping the Ping Server IP address to 
make sure that the FortiGate unit can connect to this IP address. To configure dead 
gateway detection, see
