I have struggled for some time with getting a nice installation for updating my dynamic DNS with YI.ORG as they really only like to support GNUDIP protocol, and the YI setting in SME server isn't set up for GNUDIP.
When I upgraded the server HW recently I had to go through and replace my YI installation. AT this time I found ez-ipupdate which supports a vast number of dynamic DNS update methods ( null ezip pgpow dhs dyndns dyndns-static dyndns-custom ods tzo easydns easydns-partner gnudip justlinux dyns hn zoneedit heipv6tb ). So I installed the package.
ez-ipupdate will run in daemon mode, so whenever the IP address changes it will do it's update thing. However I chose to invoke it in a 'custom' script that is called from the e-smith event script.
ez-ipupdate will also run as from a config file, but I am not sure I am into generating additional config files for the sake of it
Here is my 'custom' script
