+The 'dnsexit' protocol is the protocol used by the dynamic hostname services
+of the 'DnsExit' dns services. This is currently used by the free
+dynamic DNS service offered by www.dnsexit.com.
+    
+Configuration variables applicable to the 'dnsexit' protocol are:
+  ssl=no                       ## turn off ssl
+  protocol=dnsexit             ## 
+  server=update.dnsexit.com    ## defaults to update.dnsexit.com
+  use=web                      ## defaults to web
+  web=update.dnsexit.com       ## defaults to update.dnsexit.com
+  script=/RemoteUpdate.sv      ## defaults to /RemoteUpdate.sv
+  login=service-userid         ## userid registered with the service
+  password=service-password    ## password registered with the service
+  fully.qualified.host         ## the host registered with the service.
 
+Example ${program}.conf file entries:
+  ## single host update
+  protocol=dnsexit             \\ 
+  login=service-userid         \\
