Another alternative: http://www.zoneedit.com

I have two domains through godaddy soon to be four.

1)  First signup on ZoneEdit.

2)  Then obtain the DNS servers and then plug them into godaddy, so they point
to ZoneEdit's servers.

3)  Go back to ZoneEdit, edit your "A" records to plug in your current IP.

Then your done...

Note: When ever your IP addy changes u have to go back to ZoneEdit and replug
your new IP addy in if its dynamic (changing).

There are a few scripts out there that'll update automatically or manually
depending on how u wish it. They are usually listed on their sites which
scripts work with their site.. ;)

Happy BBS'ing...
