I don't know about cron, but you can put something like this in
your ~./netrc:
   machine ipdns.no login username-gmail-com password password-for-update-ipdns.no

to simplify that cmd-line.

But the 'myip=CurrentIPaddress' should be your WAN-address, no?
(not the "current IP address of the eth0"). How do you obtain that?
