Hi!
No its not custom. The domain name i'm using is "theravenstower.dyndns.org"

Thank you!

It should auto update by default.  Does the IP address of your e-smith server change?  Sounds like a dumb question, I guess, but e-smith is supposed to run the dyndns handler (along with a bunch of other things) whenever it changes.

When you set up your server, did you enter your dyndns.org hostname as the primary domain name?

I had problems unless I put myhost.dyndns.org as the the primary domain name of the server.

Cheers,
