I'm not sure if I understand your problem exactly but it sounds as though you want to use dyndns to resolve client IP's so that you can allow them through your firewall for SSH connections. If this is correct than the dyndns and iptables are on separate machines and the question is misleading. You'd want a script that resolves the client hostname (the dyndns is somewhat irrelevant aside from the inability to use static data) and modifies the rules. This could either be on a timer or hooked in somewhere (such as a firewall rule). Unless you're planning on writing this yourself, however, I don't think this is the right forum.
