I can't find a `dyn_updater' in any of the Debian repos. So tell us:
What /is/ dyn_updater? Where did you get it from? Does it have
documentation? A config file? Perhaps some logs?
Given the name and your description, the thing might update your
dyndns record (not your IP address: your ISP changes this one).
If this guess is correct, it'll depend on an external service.
May be this one is failing?
But that's only guesswork.
Cheers
