You have to use native (propreitary) software?  If lynx or wget are
available for OS/2 then you can use a single program with a few command
line options to perform the update.  There are also open source update
clients for various other platforms and even something written in perl.  If
rexx can access a webpage via http then a simple script could be coded
there too.

Where did I say that? :-)  They host the domain on the DNS servers.  Where
you point the records is your discretion.  The only difference is that
you're not just buying one record but getting a whole domain for hosted for
the price it costs to register the domain.   I checked and you can host up
to five.  If you want more it will cost you but you would have to host 6
domains before needing to purpose a zone credit which is cheaper than the
dyndns service.

You sure it was them?  I am fluent in DNS and I cannot find anything
limiting with what they offer.  They are one of the few that also do DNS
correctly placing the primary and secondary on different autonomous
systems.
