David,
According to my /tmp/etc/inadyn.conf file:
forced_update_period 2419200
which is 28 days, is the default in astlinux. So that should be
sufficient for meeting DynDNS's requirements.

There is a flag on inadyn (--forced_update_period) that will force an
update to the dyndns service even if the IP has not changed. Time is
in seconds, see inadyn man page. I do not know if there is a default
but adding --forced_update_period=2592000 should do it every 30 days.

Interesting, I had no idea about the requirement. I definitely
have the
free account with them. Like I mentioned earlier, I have had my box go
six plus months without a reboot or IP change, and I know that my
DynDNS
account is still working and I've never gotten an
email/alert/warning/etc. And I've used it on versions of AstLinux
going
back to 0.6. So either inadyn does what it needs to do, or my account
with them somehow doesn't have this restriction.
