What order do you have the "S..." symlink to this script in rc#.d dir
(where # is runlevel). Are you attempting to run it before networking is
up or internet connection is established? Even if after that, you may
need to add a sleep statement to give it time to connect and update your
resolv.conf.

I use no-ip.com, and simply run its dns update client once (not as daemon)
from /etc/ppp/ip-up (which automatically runs whenever pppoe gets an IP).
If you are directly connected to cable modem, you could do similarly with
dhcp related scripts. Although, if behind a NAT router, you would need to
run a dynamic dns update client as a daemon.
