Please read up on the ipcheck client. It's info on dyndns.org's own page
says

    We currently support all options and recommendations as of Oct 1,
    2002

You're referring to clients that update too often even when the IP
hasn't changed, I assume. FWIW, my ipcheck.log says this:

    ipcheck.py: Checking hosts in file vs command line.
    ipcheck.py: The database matches local address.  No hosts update.

That's *not* a problem, is it ??
