Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that a few years back, and had
problems with the service.

My Verizon router used to (may still have) and option to integrate
with a DDNS service and perform the update. The problem was it did not
work. When I attempted to troubleshoot it, I could not get effective
help from the service. They would reply back with "Have you tried X"
rather than inspecting the log files and telling me where things went
wrong on their side.

The issue could have been downlevel router software, and outdated
service API code. But I could not get Verizon or Actiontec to answer
questions, either. I could not even get Verizon to add the DNS
A-records (for reverse lookups) when I was purchasing commercial
service from them. Its quite maddening to deal with ISPs and those
commodity routers.

Lately, I've been thinking about using powermac.deltoid.com. OpenSRS
is my registrar, but I have not had the time to look up the API and
write the code.

Jeff
