No, my name is Magus, not Curious. 8=))

Well, there's a ddnsdef.xml file in the app folder. The definitions for
various Dynamic DNS services are in there. It takes some tweaking but
I'm about one millimetre from having it working with DynDns. I've
learned a lot watching the wire with WireShark about how this file works
with DynDns. It's for a single domain right now.

I have such a program also, but I thik the less I have running in my
system tray the better which is why I'm getting this working with
Xitami. Some programs also have it built in. One example would be HFS or
HTTP Files System. Of course if you want to do it manually, just play
with the manual logon I gave below, changing whatever is appropriate
the dyndns user name and password, the hostname and IP, in your instance.
