Dynamic DNS client for Windows?

In my Windows PC I have three network cards. They pull dynamic IP addresses
from my ISP. I already have a domain registered at zoneedit.com, with the
necessary A records for each network connection.

Now I'm looking for a Dynamic DNS client to run as a service on my Windows
machine that will automatically update ZoneEdit whenever an IP changes on
any of my three network cards.

I was doing this successfully about a year ago, but I cannot remember what
client software I used at that time.

Google finds a few DDNS clients out there, but they won't handle multiple
network cards, or aren't free, or just don't make sense when it comes to
configuration.

Can someone suggest a good DDNS client that would meet my needs?

Hi
If you use ZoneEdit you have to look at there support for something that
work with their system.

Why do you need three Internet addresses? If you really need these
three IP addresses, then you need to really consider get static IP
services and plug an IP address to each of your network adapters.
Dynamic DNS (DDNS) does not appear to even been designed to do this.

Well, I technically don't need three public addresses, but I use one
specifically to maintain the PC from remote locations, so don't want much
traffic on the connections.

Second connection is where I pass all my public traffic - FTP, Torrents,
etc. This interface can become as congensted as it wants.

The third connection is actually used by my internal LAN, but I use DNS to
resolve various devices on my network. This IP shouldn't change, but better
safe than sorry. I also use this connection as a fallback when I can't
connect to the other two interfaces.
