I have a web/ftp/radio server.  I want to give it a host name in the
chambana.net domain, so that people can reach my server from the greater
Internet, by name.  I want for it to be easy, fast, and free.

Your question made me realize that dynamic DNS is not at all what I need.
I can achieve what I want if I assume that a DNS server on the Internet
(the server of chambana.net, say, or server of urbana.il.us) delegates
control of a sub-domain (race-st-mesh.chambana.net) to a gateway node.
That is, I can use DNS "In the Usual Way."
