Are there tools that would allow the entire package do be built "in-house", 
without dyndns.org?

We have a main server with static ip address, and a bunch of remote sites 
with dynamic ip addresses.  Can I install ez-ipupdate (or something like 
it) on remote sites and configure them to update our main server instead of 
dyndns?  If so what gets installed on main server to handle this?
