And this is Dynamic dialup DNS services, written , and concerning Uncategorized

There are plenty of dynamic DNS services like DynDNS around. Anyone got any recommendations as to which one would be best for a dialup Linux GNOME user? So my dad can have a constant name that points to his machine on every dialup, and I can ssh over without having to talk him through running /sbin/ifconfig in a terminal window. (“That’s sbin. No, sbin. S for sugar, b for…right. Sbin.“)

You just named it: DynDNS.

I'll let you have foo.clothcat.org if you like.  I could do with a real-world test of the nsupdate mechanisms anyway...

I've been using no-ip for ages on Windows and it's great and no-hassle after it's setup. Never even got spam from them. They also have a Linux client; might be what you're looking for.

Work uses no-ip (For reasons I really don't want to get into), and we've never had any problems either.
