[pfS-Dev] DynDNS issues

[Erik Kristensen]

It "should" be doing that automatically, it just doesn't appear that it is for some reason. The red indicates a bad cache or an unknown ip state, IIRC (anyone else want to chime in)

So it should be attempting to grab the correct and latest IP, cache it, and update the dyndns provider.
