      DO gloss over the source code, just in case  :-)   
      
      I'm inclined to NOT trust 3rd-party daemons   
      these days. If anyone is offering $0 services,   
      well, HOW do they stay in biz ???   
      
      BTW, the code needed for a dynamic DNS daemon   
      should be quite SHORT. I know this because I've   
      writ my own more than once. If your "free" service   
      is hundreds or thousands of lines then BEWARE.   
      
      Just sayin'
