Gary,
I also have been hit with dyndns.com's being picky on their free
accounts.
Personally I have given-up with dyndns.com and instead use
zoneedit.com. Zoneedit.com is far more flexible, but you must have
your own registered domain name, and point the domains DNS to
zoneedit's dns servers they assign you. Hence, the process takes a
few days. AstLinux's dynamic DNS client, inadyn, says it supports
zoneedit.
With zoneedit, you can define multiple "A" records, and then
dynamically change any, some or all of the "A" records. Zoneedit is
free as long as you have fewer than 5 different domains with them and
not TONS of DNS traffic. (check their site for details)
I have several m0n0walls using my one zoneedit domain, works great.

Ok guys, something new and exciting to think about ... Got a nasty

DynDNS today ... Seems they do not like the way that Astlinux is
handling
registration with them ... If I understand the note correctly,
they have
blocked future registration from this server ...
The machine I am dealing with here is the one that I keep at home
to link me
to my main office ... Unfortunately, my home setup is behind a Cox
cable
modem with a single dynamic IP address so this is an important
feature to me
... The server is a LEX NEO box with 3xRealtec NIC's on the
motherboard ...
It is pretty vanilla and has no PCI cards in it ... It acts as my
router/firewall and as a slave to my main office Astlinux
server ... It runs
Astlinux 0.4.4 in router/firewall mode ... I am presently using the
ASTFW
firewall feature set ... I upgraded this one to 0.4.4 only about a
week ago

Something new and exciting in the dynamic dns registration
piece ???????

START MSG FROM DYNDNS *******************************
A hostname you had registered with Dynamic Network Services, Inc.
(DynDNS),
ghend-pbx.homeip.net, has been deleted from our systems.
This hostname has been deleted a week after the last legitimate
update prior
to its blocking. Our policies forbid multiple successive updates
from the
same IP address for performance and resource-conservation purposes;
such
updates have no function, and use resources which could better
serve others.
If you are using a hardware router's built-in update functionality,
it is
most likely not properly functional; we recommend that you contact
your
router's manufacturer regarding this issue and ask them to contact
us for
assistance correcting their products to interface properly with our
systems.
Until such a time that you see an announcement on our site about your
specific router functioning properly with our systems, we recommend
using a
software client from <http://www.dyndns.com/support/clients/
<http://www.dyndns.com/support/clients/> >
instead, and being certain to disable the update functionality of your
router.
You can re-create this hostname at your convenience, and we suggest
that you
re-examine your update procedures and read our abuse policy at
http://www.dyndns.com/support/abuse.html
<http://www.dyndns.com/support/abuse.html> for further clarification.
