I've had quite a few off-list requests for this, so I wanted to bring
the info back to the public.

If you have a domain doing anything (email, www, etc.) then someone is
already doing DNS for that domain.

If this is the case, you should contact them and ask them:
Please create the follow DNS Alias/CNAME:
home.you.com. 86400 IN CNAME you.homelinux.org.

That should be all you need. Of course that assumes the you want to
subdomain of home, and that you chose homelinux.org as your dyndns
domain.  The trailing dots on each are important. They may have a web
interface to create them yourself. If your hosting provides CPanel,
you only have access to DNS Zones if they have the reseller account
tools add-on call Web Host Manager or WHM. Still, a simple support
ticket with the 2 lines above should resolve it for you.
