In that case you should have the following entry in the ground's LDM 
configuration-file:

    ALLOW ANY ^rafgv\.dyndns\.org$

The 3rd field is, actually, an extended regular expression. Note the anchors 
("^" and "$") and escaped periods.

This will work *as long as* a reverse lookup of your ground's DNS resolver 
converts the plane's IP address into "rafgv.dyndns.org".

An alternative that uses a regular expression to match on the plane's IP 
address would be (for example)

    ALLOW ANY ^12\.111\.57\.[0-9]*$

This assumes that only the last octet of the plane's IP address changes.
