That depends entirely upon how they work. If they send a packet /
request to the DDNS server, and the server looks at the IP address it
came from, then it will work just fine. Assuming you want the IP address
of your cable modem.

If the program looks at the IP address of the host it is running on, and
sends that to the service - then it will update with your internal RFC
1918 IP address.

My bet is that it will Just Work. Remember, these have to work for the
typical home Microsfot Windows user, and most of them on broadband have
NAT boxes.
