Forward doesn’t mean dynamic, however, and using one particular solution like 
that is misleading, IMO.  Using “forward-dns” makes more sense to me.

That said, how would you intend to handle multiple A records for the same name: 
look them all up and store in a table, or support only one A record per name?  
At a minimum, I think that needs to be clearly documented.

dyndns is a company name, but it seems to be synonymous for a lot of systems 
with dynamic-dns.
That would make a recognizable option for a lot of people.

Unfortunately I think you need to pick an awkward name here so it
cannot be confused/misused.  Like "forward-dns"
