Mark,
I'm interested in your statement regarding CNAMES and MX records because I tried a couple of configs that didn't work. Then I remembered that RFC 1912 (section 2.4) specifically disallows the use of CNAMES in combination with other records, like MX. Also, I see no entry in DNS for g7ltt.dyndns.org. Instead, it looks like the CNAME for g7ltt.ampr.org is ni2o.ampr.org.
So can you be more specific? For example, what is your situation and what entries did you make in DNS to solve it?
Thanks, Michael N6MEF

Looooooong time no speak!
I use a cname entry. My g7ltt.ampr.org name is cnamed to g7ltt.dyndns.org.
The upshot is that the station trying to connect to me does the DNS chasedown rather than the ampr.org server. I only ever need to update the gateway server once and let my firewall take care of dyndns.
This works with MX records too (heard from g1plt lately? ).
