Actually DynDNS "Since 3.7.0, ddclient support ssl-updates" and it
certainly the way to go. See:
http://www.dyndns.com/support/kb/using_ddclient_with_dyndns_services.html

Hence my config w/ssl=yes:

# /etc/ddclient.conf
daemon=300
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid
ssl=yes
use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.com/, web-skip='IP Address'
login=your-username
password=your-password
protocol=dyndns2
server=members.dyndns.org
your-hostname

Never heard of DNS-O-Matic/dnsomatic.com - thanks for the info. I've
never used opendns and have only use dyndns.
