A command line tool to update dyndns.org IP info
Authored by: mankoff on Jan 27, '05 10:49:09AM

Not sure what you mean...

You do not want ddclient to timeout. http://dyndns.org closes your account if you don't access it for > X days (X = 15 I think?). At the same time they shut you down if you update too often when there has not been an IP change.

So ddclient
1) only updates when there has been a change but
2) updates ever X - Y days (where Y is a few days), even with no change, so that dyndns.org doesn't shut down the account.

It does this with the default fink install. I didn't configure anything.
