[ale] Dynamic DNS

[Richard Bronosky]

I use dyndns.com too. My solution to wanting to use my own domain is
that I have home.bronosky.com as a CNAME to bronosky.homelinux.com.
which is one of their many domains. It works great. The only issue I
run into is that Comcast regularly allows me to keep my IP address for
more than 30 days. The default Linksys firmware only updates
dyndns.com when my IP changes. This allows my account at dyndns.com to
expire. Using Tomato firmware resolves this.
