[OT] Test my dyndns site

[Chris Gauthier]

Here is the problem--you're not updating dyndns with the correct IP 
address.  There are many packages to do this, some available directly 
from the ubuntu universe.  I forget the perl script I am running, but it 
polls every hour and lets me know if there is a problem.  It will also 
update every 2 weeks, no matter what.  The dig output below (which I 
added emphasis to) shows the IP address that the public will see.
