The dynami dynamic DNS service is actually still only in BETA but it seems that it has been quite heavily used during the WebAfrica local-only trial 
It is a dynamic DNS update server working on the same protocol as DynDNS. This means that most DynDNS clients should work with the service. It is however running on a local South African server so your updates will still work with local-only ADSL accounts.
I'm interested in feedback:
So far the service has been tested with the ddclient app under Ubuntu and the ez-ipupdate daemon that is included in openWRT.
Below is a script for doing updates from a Mikrotik Routerboard.
