Not that I have any objection to DynDNS -- indeed, I've been a 
customer for several years -- but I will point out that most 
major ISPs have open access to their nameservers. In particular, 
you can use 

4.2.2.1 
4.2.2.2 

for both DNS and NTP. These were established by BBN and 
continued by Level 3; they use the RFC1546 Anycast hack. 

Your ISP, of course, should also be providing DNS resolvers for 
you; if they have an upstream ISP, you could try theirs as well. 

dig -t ns domainname.tld 

will show the nameservers which serve a particular 
domainname.tld; sometimes those will also handle general DNS 
services.
