bddc

'bddc' stands for 'Bash Dyn DNS Checker'.
i wrote bddc because i wanted a small and easy editable program to keep track of my changing IP-address.
bddc grew to a full equipped bash script that should fulfill the needs of the average dyn dns user in any way.

Please send me feedback if bddc does not work or you found a bug!
you may do so as well if bddc works fine and you're happy about it.
FAQs can be found here.
