I knew all the way about the method you suggested. It's all about updating of SOA and A records of a domain.tld. You should read entire thread... My solution was to rent a small Xen DomU host with NetBSD which I'm using as my secondary DNS so I don't have to run it on dynamic IP. I am now updating my A and SOA records on the master based on my dyndns client and the IP it points to. It's a matter of a couple of well written SQL queries with PowerDNS. Here's the script updating my domains's records if anyone else would need to do the same thing: http://yazzy.yazzy.org/coding/shell/dyndns/ Marcin Jessa.
