They made the changes today while I was at work but everything still seems to be working - all websites respond and I'm getting mail, etc. I guess ddclient caught the change and updated everything. I have since shutdown ddclient (fingers crossed). I already had their nameservers in my resolv.conf and use dyndns and zoneedit for DNS. Guess I can still continue with them as they are free services.
