Dyndns updater as network in openDNS?

Can I use my dyndns host exapmle: mydyndnsupdater.dndns.org) as network instead of ip, I know about the client for windows but if I install it on my windows laptop it would mean that it stays on all the time, and my router has only one option to use dydns host to update my dynamic ip adress.
So can I use my dnsdns host account as my network instead of my Ip in openDNS?
2. Can I install linux client on my satellite-top-box enigma 2 based on linux in which I have dyndns plugin as udate client of my ip adress for my openDNS account?

No, you cannot.  OpenDNS updates must come from the IP address your dashboard is going to change to.  This is an intended security measure.

"Can I install linux client on my satellite-top-box enigma 2 based on linux in which I have dyndns plugin as udate client of my ip adress for my openDNS account?"

If this Linux client is something like ddclient or inadyn, then you can use it to update both, your OpenDNS network and your DynDNS hostname, either directly or via DNS-O-Matic.  No idea if you can install the update client on your box though, because I do not know that box.

I have inadyn client installed in my box as plugin, can I use it to update my opendns account
In inadyn I have fields like username
Passeord, dns host
What should I type in those fields, my openDNS credentials or my dyndns credentials?

You'll be using your OpenDNS credentials, of course.  OpenDNS has nothing to do with Dyn.  The DNS host is your OpenDNS network label.
