I attached the patch file here in case my copy/pasting or mailer messed
up the spaces in the last line.

FreeDNS has an oddity in that the update url requires the string after
"?" to be an auth token (the SHA1 of the "username|password" string) but
there is also a hidden 2nd argument to specify an IP address:
"&address=[IP]". Without it, the FreeDNS service will always update the
IP to the IP that called the update URL visible by FreeDNS, regardless
of the options chosen in OpenWRT. Patch provided below.
The OpenWRT documentation should also state that in the case of FreeDNS,
the "username" field is ignored and the "password" field must contain
the auth token and not the actual password. The auth token is obtained
from the FreeDNS website.
