Hey,

It can sure be changed with a patch. I'd like however to wait for 
someone with ports commit bit to comment as to whether that change lies 
within the scope of what the ports tree does. My understanding is that 
the ports tree generally doesn't introduce new functionality.

What you can do however without any ports/ commits is to stop the 
daemon, clobber noip's internal state in the right way, then restart it 
to force an update to be issued, weekly or daily.

cheers,
