Hi Josh,

Rather then do just doing a "restart" you want to:
--
service dynamicdns stop
service dynamicdns init
--
That should do it.

Tip -> when creating a custom /mnt/kd/ddclient.conf you can use use the special 
@FOO@ placeholders that will be transferred from the web interface, take a look 
at the default /stat/etc/ddclient.conf file ...
--
head -n20 /stat/etc/ddclient.conf
--
You may want to copy/paste the first few lines, and then possibly use @DDUSER@ 
@DDPASS@ and @DDHOST@ as set in the web interface.

Lonnie
