There is no need of any client in Linux. just setup account at DNS-O-Matic | Distribute dynamic IP changes to multiple services (dnsomatic.com) (run by OpenDNS ppl and works with OpenDNS username/password) and put this line in ur ip-up.local file:
[noparse]
curl --interface $4 -m 60 -u USERNAME
ASSWORD 'https://updates.dnsomatic.com/nic/update?hostname=NETWORKLABEL' &
[/noparse]
replace USERNAME, PASSWORD and NETWORKLABEL as per ur account.
added advantage is that u can avail other benefits of dnsomatic
[noparse]
curl --interface $4 -m 60 -u USERNAME
ASSWORD 'https://updates.dnsomatic.com/nic/update?hostname=NETWORKLABEL' &[/noparse]
replace USERNAME, PASSWORD and NETWORKLABEL as per ur account.

looks like a handy command... i wonder if ubuntu even has ip-up.local, perhaps putting into /etc/rc.local might work?
and what does the " $4 " part indicate?

ip-up.local or ip-up is called by pppd, rc.local (which run once at system start) doesnt come in picture.pppd calls ip-up script everytime it connects to internet.$4 indicates which ppp interface (ppp0, ppp1 etc - mostly ppp0)man pppd for more info--interface option of curl tells it to use that interface for outgoing connection, dnsomatic sees originating IP and automatically updates IPs in opendns, dyndns etc.PS: I am using this method from 2 yrs now, never faced any problem
