DynamicDNS and OpenWRT, was re: DHCP question

[Arfst Braren]

DynDNS is not DynamicDNS

DynamicDNS is a protocol between the DHCP and the DNS on the router that
updates the DNS when an  IP address is assigned by the DHCP.
I was wondering if that is possibel with an open firmware for a home router.
