we can look into it if we get some more requests for it. frankly till
now no one asked for dyndns like support :-)
i had a quick look at the API that is commonly used and it looks
really very simple to do. i'll put it on our roadmap and see if we get
more people wanting it.
re the mandatory NS servers - there are very different requirements
for the different TLDs. some TLDs offer registration for domains
without nameservers or with nameservers but not connected (means not
entered into their zone) or even that the zone of the TLD itself can
be used (nserver entries in .de). there is _no_ requirement that a
domain registrar offers you NS servers and in fact many actually
charge you for them, others make it really hard to use your own
nameservers if you want to.
cheers

It could be interesting with godaddy.com's prices and the extra service.
Otherwise you're just yet another expensive DNS provider.

I actually figured out I can run my own services for all my domains
on a dynamic IP without breaking any DNS related RFC.
I have 2 DNS servers, a master with static IP and a slave with dynamic
IP (both can actually have a dynamic IP).
The resgistrar (godaddy) does not require IPs when defining custom DNS
servers so one of the
DNS servers can run just fine on a dynamic IP as long as it's host has
defined an A record and not a CNAME.
And as long as the Arecord for my domains is not set it should be fine.
But not having A records for the domains will of course mean that
I won't be able to access http://domain.tld , just http://www.domain.tld
But there is a solution to it too.
Having access to the master DNS I just can easly update all the A
records with a script.
I use PowerDNS to host my domains and it's just a metter of running one
SQL query to have everything updated and working just fine.
All I have to do is to check if IP of my dyndns host has changed and run
the SQL query
to update all the A records on the master server to match that new IP.
Thanks.
