When one has a dyndns free account, one has to log in every 28-30 days to confirm that the account is still needed, even if the IP address hasn't changed On my large asterisk box I use ddclient, which does this automatically, but it seems, at least on some AstLinux boxes with inadyn this doesn't happen, triggering an e-mail from dyndns which, if not responded to by the 35th day, the account is deleted by dyndns. I have not had any problem with inadyn detecting and updating the account when and if the ip changes, but have several that don't do the periodic login's necessary to keep dyndns from deleting the account. I am unfamiliar with inadyn other than with Astlinux configurations, and wonder if there is some switch that allows this monthly communication to take place or prevent it. Dyndns does have a paid yearly account that doesn't have this requirement. Perhaps that is the account you have?
