[update interval of pfSense's built-in dyndns client when used with
no-ip.org]

Okay, I think I found out what's going on:

/etc/crontab contains
1       1       *       *       *       root    /usr/bin/nice -n20
/etc/rc.dyndns.update

which means that the script only gets called at 01:01 AM each day.

Is there any particular reason why this rather long interval was chosen?
It runs immediately after every IP change, and once a day to check if
it needs to do an update (if one hasn't been done in 25 days (IIRC,
somewhere around that) it'll update). No need for anything else.

The problem I have with that is that my pfSense boxes are behind another router, so they can't detect an IP change on their own interface, as it occurs on their upstream router. But if it's as easy as changing the crontab entry in the xml file, then I'm going to do that and be happy. ;-)

Kind Regards,
Stefan
