Hi, this should work, although there's no point in using the DYNAMIC stuff at all here. The 'host=...' setting gets overridden by the 'url=...' in PROBE_CONF, as explained in the Curl probe documentation since 1.41. Note that 'host=...' is still required, its contents are just ignored when sending the probes. This behaviour is fixed in the 2.x series. In 1.x it isn't possible to use the DYNAMIC feature with the Curl probe (but using dyndns is pretty close to that.) Have you tried running 'smokeping --debug'? Or perhaps even '--debug-daemon'? Do you see any outgoing HTTP requests?
