I changed it to thirty minutes. The reason I need it to update so often is because my IP changes pretty often, I'd say 3~4 times per day. I think that's why the ddclient daemon doesn't work for me; It may not be updating the server enough, so I set a cronjob to take care of that. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
