Dynamic DNS update.

Rough Draft for hackish DNS updates:
This hack will let your OBi update Dynamic DNS. It isn't perfect but it works very well. It's as simple as calling a url to update the DNS at afraid.org. I believe it would be a simple task to add this feature to the OBi firmware directly. So please add this OBiHai. Pretty please. Until then here you go.
Set up a Dynamic DNS host at http://freedns.afraid.org/
Go to the Dynamic DNS tab.
Copy the "direct" update url link.
Open your Obi admin page.
Click the System management page.
Click Auto Provisioning.
Under "ITSP Provisioning" Change the following.
Method = Periodically
Interval = This setting must be greater then 400 so not to over use resources. I use 3667.
ConfigURL = Paste the update link you got from afraid.org
Press Submit at the bottom of the page. Restart you OBi.
I'm trying to implement the above on my OBi110, but cannot seem to get it to work. Could you be more specific with a detail step by step listing? I was able to setp something to the effect:
ample@chickenlittle.com; "ample" being the "Subdomain" name.
Is this the "Copy the "direct" update url link" you have to enter in the OBi "ConfigURL"? I'm confused.
giqcass:
Now that you have set up a host name log in to afraid.org and navigate to http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/
Toward the bottom of that page you will see the sub-domain you created. It will list a "direct" link to update your DNS. Copy that link and place it in the ConfigURL field on your OBi.

ingenious. Kudos! I have a dDNS client in pfSense but you have inspired me to retain this gem for future uses.
MrGrim:
I've tried to do this on my Obi100 but it doesn't update the DNS periodically.
The only way I got it to work was by having it update on reboot, and then manually rebooting the device.
If I could remotely reboot this might work, but the periodical update would be best.
MrGrim:
I forgot to ask for help:
Is there anything else I need to turn on to allow it to periodically update the dns?
Do I have to enable autoprovisioning somewhere else too?
