There's a daemon running. The files are under /etc/init.d/ddclient and 
/etc/default/ddclient and is set to run automatically.

the "use=web" says to ddclient to connect to a script on dyndns' website 
to find your public IP instead of using the IP found by ifconfig... My 
server is behind a router on a private IP (192.168.1.x), so I can't use 
"if"...
