Thanks Ingo, I applied this patch locally and it works well for me. Note however
that currently it does a lookup per-host rather than per-use. No big deal, but
definitely adds some unnecessary overhead.

To illustrate:

[... basic settings here...]
server=members.dyndns.org
protocol=dyndns2
login=XXX
password=XXX

use=web, web=checkip1.service.com \
XXX.dyndns.org,YYY.dyndns.org

use=web, web=checkip2.service.com \
XXX.homeunix.org,YYY.homeunix.org

The above config file ends up hitting the checkip1.service.com website two
times, and checkip2.service.com two times, instead of just once each.
