Ah yes, the confusion of terminology rears its head again. There's DDNS

looks like the proper name for RFC 2136 DDNS is not DDNS at all but
"Dynamic Update."
Maybe I'm missunderstanding how dyndns.com and friends work, but arn't they relatively the same thing(with DHCP out of the picture, for obvious reasons)? The difference being dyndns.com(and friends) can't fully work like the RFC because they don't have control over everyones DHCP server. You just run a client side application which allows you to authenticate and update their DNS servers(which may or may not use the methods described in RFC2136)?
