    Fortigates officially support DDNS services that are listed in the " Server" pull-down tab in the DDNS setting section and other DDNS services that follow RFC2136. The KB (linked below) outlines a typical ddns entry...
      config system ddns      edit 1         set monitor-interface " wan"          set ddns-server genericDDNS         set ddns-domain " samplezone.no-ip.info"          set ddns-server-ip <sample IP>         set ddns-zone " samplezone"          set ddns-ttl 60         set ddns-auth tsig         set ddns-keyname " key123"          set ddns-key ' ENC sdfsdfsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdfsdfsdfsd'       next  end

    I' ve tried to make it work with no-ip.com before, and haven' t had any success. If you read the KB article you will notice that no-ip.com is not listed as " fully RFC2136 compliant" as of August 2012. If you get it to work I' d be curious to see how so please post back. (my solution was to subscribe to one well known DDNS service, to obtain 30 hostnames).
