Update Route53 - Dynamic DNS on Route53

This program enables you to update a record on Route53 to point to your public IP address if you don't have a static address. This can be scheduled using cron or any other scheduling tool of choice.

Example usage:

$ ./updater53 -records house.example.com
2017/03/17 00:11:18 Your IP: "108.228.144.143"
2017/03/17 00:11:18 updating record "house.example.com"

# and if you run this again after updating the record:

$ ./updater53 -records house.example.com
2017/03/17 00:11:18 Your IP: "108.228.144.143"
2017/03/17 00:11:18 updating record "house.example.com"
2017/03/17 00:12:42 no need to update record "house.example.com.",
already pointing to "108.228.144.143"
