If your router sits upstream of your linux box then that is the
proper place to do it. Why complicate your machine
with another daemon?

What does "man ddclient" say?


I use ddclient for two domains and it works flawlessly. Actually
ddclient is a perl script that needs to be edited (well documented) and
adjusted for your setup and then just run it, it sleeps for the time
period you set as well so it doesn't upset the folks at dyndns.org.
