I had a solution to this in another Forum..
If you pay DynDns.Org $30 or more then you can use the CNAME to propogate
your IP across the Virtual Domains and no changes on the E-Smith box
However - less that $30 - thy this simple solutiuon on the E-Smith box.
Enjoy..

---------------------------------------------------------
I had a problem where I was getting a dynamic IP from my provider, and then
needing to propogate it across to all of my Virtual Domains.
Sadly the current version of E-Smith will only handle this on Primary site.
So.. Looking at the code I noticed that all of the virtual domains are
listed in a 'domains' file - like the configuration file. As I don't have
anything BUT virtual domains (Dan- your input here please is there anything
else listed in this?) I decided to modify
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/update-dns
to loop throught this file and automatically update the new IP's on the
virtual domains on DynDNS.Org
Anyway.. here is the script.. make a backup of the old one and copy this
snippet as the new file. Remember to change the permissions
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

Ok.. its a little crude, but it works for me.
After this I did a reboot, popped onto DynDNS.Org.. and all of my Virtuals
are updates .
