I think youy best bet is to delegate the domain to somewhere that's
easier to update.  There are quite a few free ones that are reasonable
--- as I said, I use zoneedit, but there are lots of others.

For zoneedit, you just arrange to visit a URL from the address you
want to be the name of your server, provide the appropriate
authentication, and you're done.  Something like:

wget -O - --http-user=username --http-passwd=password \
  'http://dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=www.mydomain.com' 

and you're done (although zoneedit also talks dyndns protocol 3, so
ddclient will work)
