Netlify Dynamic DNS uses the OpenDNS resolver to determine your public IP. The resolver has a feature which echoes the clients IP address when you lookup myip.opendns.com. This lookup is done both over IPv4 and IPv6 to determine both public IP's then using the Netlify OpenAPI Client the old DNS records are removed and new ones are created with your latest public IP.
