i don't think the solution rdns will be suitable for us. I have checked the
zebra software to make linux a BGP router
http://www.techrepublic.com/article/use-zebra-to-set-up-a-linux-bgp-ospf-router/
Could you tell me if BGP is capable of doing what we want? Because our
local ISP supports this method and i have no idea how to implement it.
Functionality we need, is to auto detect the new ip prefixes from local ISP
so they'll not have to provide us thousands of prefixes on daily basis.
