Subject: Dynamically updating a URL redirect record.

The update system will only update A and CNAME records, not URLs. There is another way to accomplish what you are doing though, see here:

Create the following structure: (or name it however you like)

ip.4mydomain.com points to 24.1.2.3 (A)
www.4mydomain.com points to 'ip.4mydomain.com:81' (URL)
root of 4mydomain.com points to 'ip.4mydomain.com:81' (URL)

Now all you have to do is dynamically update the IP.4MYDOMAIN.COM hostname with your correct IP, and the other hostnames follow along. Also, if you use FTP, SSH, etc, then use the IP hostname instead of www or the root record, otherwise connections will hit our redirect server and non-http requests are not forwarded.
