Really? Why would you need the support or permission of your ISP to use dyndns? I'm pretty certain I've seen e.g. Zyxel ADSL modems with built-in dyndns support.

I think this is usually a policy for commercial rather than technical reasons. Your modem may support it (my elderly ADSL router does), but your ISP may object to you using it because they would prefer you to buy further services from them, or not offer assistance if you have problems as they may not be willing to incur the additional support costs for service they are not making money on.
I have been aware of reports that some providers have actively blocked DynDNS related traffic. As you said YMMV
What support or costs would they incurr, if a customer uses DynDNS? They are not providing any service. All DynDNS provides is a host name, mapped to an IP address. Other than advising them of a new IP, what related traffic is there? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
