Its quite fast, and detects my IP change quickly. Now in a parallel e-mail someone pointed out that DNS propogation time might increase - well you could get around this problem by setting the TTL for the DNS record to the bare minimum allowed by DynDNS.org. ( 0??) This way there is no valid DNS record cached anywhere in some remote dns for your site - so every customer would have to mandatorily lookup the dyndns dns servers to get an IP. The only customers loosing out are those who have an open webpage during the transition ( low probability). In any case, you can ask shaw to make sure that any IP change should be between midnight and 3 am - all they need to do is to adjust the DHCP server for you.
