Nice tip.

If anyone here is using DD-WRT, take a look at these instructions before trying to set up your freedns subdomain (needs a token instead of login/password): extracted from http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/DDNS_-_How_to_setup_Cus...

Go to http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/ and login with your normal username and password for the freedns service. Click "Direct URL" on the domain you would like to be set to your WAN IP address. Copy everything from the right of the ? in the address bar.

Router Settings: DDNS Service: freedns.afraid.org User Name: USERNAME Password: PASSWORD Host Name: yourdomain.com,What_You_Copied_Before Force Update Interval 10

(Note: Since afraid.org doesn't require a username and password when doing a "wget-style" update, you can also just do the following to keep from exposing your username and password: User Name: guest Password: guest)
