Registrars with free DynDNS services of my own domains.

[lenz]

we can look into it if we get some more requests for it. frankly till
now no one asked for dyndns like support :-)
i had a quick look at the API that is commonly used and it looks
really very simple to do. i'll put it on our roadmap and see if we get
more people wanting it.

re the mandatory NS servers - there are very different requirements
for the different TLDs. some TLDs offer registration for domains
without nameservers or with nameservers but not connected (means not
entered into their zone) or even that the zone of the TLD itself can
be used (nserver entries in .de). there is _no_ requirement that a
domain registrar offers you NS servers and in fact many actually
charge you for them, others make it really hard to use your own
nameservers if you want to.
