[DYNDNS #57130] Strange IP Detection from checkip.dyndns.org (fwd)

[Timothy M. Lyons]

Is anyone else using dyndns.org services?  If so, has anyone else noticed the
strange IPs being reported during detection from checkip.dyndns.org?

Mid last week, I started noticing strange new IP assignments(Below) in my
update notifications, followed by a report of returning to the usual IP.  I
spent a few days looking into it on this end with no results and ended up
loking at the common thread between the two disparate zones that were having
these issues.

Apparently dyndns is aware of some problem, yet has not bothered to make their
customers (I paid) aware of the potential issue.

If anyone else has noticed this behavior, could you please let me know.  If
you're using dyndns, be aware of this issue.

Hi.

We are aware of issues with the checkip page; our development team is
currently investigating those issues.
