Just to avoid giving anyone the wrong notion, this is still firmly
in the "idea" phase; implementation will take some time.

I was picturing a web interface, plus an API so DNS updates can be
done programmatically.

I'd like to hear suggestions about the API - the Dyn DNS API is
quite mature and is apparently well supported on the client side
by software and consumer routers
<http://dyn.com/support/developers/api/>.  A simple curl command
line is enough to generate an update.  Please chime in if you know
of something that looks better.

Unlike Dyn, I plan to support IPv6 AAAA records.  This requires no
changes to the API.
