yes, in fact I've actually tried several of them with very mixed
results. This is most likely to my lack of training/experience in the
management & installation of this type of application. I have NO
experience in codeing except a bit of php and I'm not at all proficient
in it. Just a few hacks of Mediawiki stuff. Several are written in perl
and offer no clear installation or modification instructions. The best
seem to be geared toward Dyndns.com or other dns services. I
particularly want to support afraid.org, & there in lies the need. Even
the one that I have working, ddclient, is only able to work with Dyn.com
as far as I can tell. 
I am seeking assistance from someone who has a bit of actual experience
in this arena. Any volunteers??
Thanks!
