Still are.

I don't know of any work to make the same daemon provide both services--
and I think that would be a bad idea--but there IS DynDNS. Dynamic DNS,
defined in RFC 3007*, provides a mechanism for a DNS server to accept
updates automatically. There are several services on the 'Net that will
provide dynamic DNS, some free, some for a fee. www.dyndns.org is one I
remember just because it's easy to do so, but I haven't used any of them,
so I can't recommend one over another.
*RFC: Request for Comment. The underpinning that defines most of
what makes up the Internet, these documents are the standards
that determine features, interactions, and behavior of protocols,
services, etc. They're interesting to read, albeit usually
somewhat dry, and can give you insight into the intentions of
the designers and reasons decisions were made to do things in the
way they are done. Probably the authoritative site to peruse is
www.rfc-editor.org. (Hmm... I actually had two additional sites,
but they're not responding...the 'Net is cruel.)
