Monitoring a dynamic DNS host

I have a remote office I am trying to monitor but the office does not have a
static IP address, it is simply a Verizon business basic DSL line. I have
dynamic DNS setup on the router and it works flawlessly. My problem appears
to be that argus keeps some type of an internal DNS cache. If I do a
dig/nslookup from the server running argus it gets the correct IP address
everytime but argus doesn't seem to get updated. If I hup argus, it picks
up the change and all of a sudden my remote host is up. I waited about an
hour after dyndns had the correct IP just to make sure I wasn't being
impatient.
Any thoughts?
